EDITORIAL. Long time no see. I've been on a short holiday, but is now
back. A question for you all: How often would you like to receive the
newsletter? Do you want it once a week, be weekly, or do you want me to
send out letters 2 or 3 times a week if I have something to say? Please go
to my page and post your opinion on the message forum at
http://www.encycmet.com/BBS Thank you

The house that Metallica built albums like Ride the Lightning and Master
Of Puppets is up for sale. The house in El Cerrito, California has not

Area. Lurk the same hallways and bedrooms as James, Lars, Cliff, Kirk,

==== WEEKLY SURVEY ================================================
The previous question on my server on the main page was "How often do you
visit encycmet.com?" and the results are:

     daily: 31.19%
     This is my first time: 16.75%
     6-2 times a week: 15.05%
     3 or 2 times a week: 14.44%
     weekly: 13.64%
     Monthly: 5.92%
     Not that often: 3.01%

This week I'm asking how often you would like to receive this newsletter.
I need to know what you think because if I send it out 3 times a week I
get mails telling me it is too often, and if I send it out once a week I
get mails about it being too slow. Please also post messages on the
message board on how often you would like the letters. Thanks. Go to
http://www.encycmet.com to be heard.
