I agree with what your saying about the artist using this site as a mktng. tool but take in to consideration the fact that maybe we do converse with artists but they'd rather maintain anonymity. Let's be honest, if an artist made themselves known, they'd get endless emails and too many people would (god forgive me for the word i'm bout to use) be dick riding and not giving an honest true answer to things. People would feel the pressure to be nice. Not to mention some people idolize celebrities and don't look at them as regular people so they wouldn't be honest/brutally honest. Come on, you see how very rarely people challenge anything Quest says, he even observes how cats challenge anything he says. He could make a post titled "Lumper Dink" and it'd be at 100 befor you finish reading the post title.
Maintaining anonymity creates an equal fair ground where besides Quest or dreamhampton (and she hasn't logged on under that name since she made the huge mistake of doing so the first time)people will speak how they genuinely feel about an artist. I do agree that the artists and their mgmt should be using the site as a tool more often as far as posting appearances, possible singles and things like that and use the site as a sounding board.
