I'm here...

Sorry for being absent folks, I've been super busy and the Twitter avenue seems to be the quickest way to keep updates coming. I plan to go through the board here in the next weeks and answer all the questions and pm's... (there's hundreds of pm's...)

Again, not trying to commit 'web-adultery' with Twitter, but I can do it at the drop of a hat...

Be here soon, thanks for everything!

No worries. Your Twitter posts are curt and mostly hilarious, so it's nice and convenient. I do miss your 16 paragraph tangents though! :D

What you do for your fans is more than enough already, no need to apologise :)

Ah, cool. I shot you a PM about something, I was starting to think you didn't like me. But then I realised what a preposterous thought that was.

damn it i hate twitter so much. i understand if that's easier for you, just sayin. appreciate the updates & comments either way, just think they're more interesting to read here as opposed to trying to read the twits (tweets? whatev) inbetween comments to other people cuz usually i have no idea what you're talking about and here it's usually longer more indepth statements.

again, whatever works for you and not trying to complain and all that. i'm aware plenty of people love the quickness of twitter, i just don't get it.

No problem at all. ^_^ The fact that you're one of the few artists who communicates with their fans via forum is cool enough to the point where you owe us no explanation. :)

Also, I hope that you will enjoy my The Top 100 Devin Townsend Songs thread that is probably going to be started by early/mid June. :) Stay tuned!

I have never followed an artist who touched base with the fans as much as you, Dev. It is never expected, but greatly appreciated!

You should never feel you have to apologize to us, especially since you are working on the stuff that brought us all here in the first place. lol

uff good you are there...I though you went up to Canada....oh...wait o.O haha

No, seriously, thanks for keeping in touch with your fans, us, it must be very annoying to have this hundreds of people trying to talk you everyday by forums (and I´m one of them hehehe)

Do whatever you have to do! all for tha sake of the music!

I'd never actually considered sendin' a PM to you before, but knowing how many you have - I don't think I will! At least Twitter cuts my ramblings down to a 140 character limit ;)

Twitter? Why go out for fast-food when you can have steak at home?!
