and if we want a god we have to follow him down

why the fuck to people start and join fanlistings?

'the fuck' = expression of ... EXTREME nature of confusion.  please, explain it to me.  i know what they are and their stated purpose, so that isn't what i'm looking for.  but like, what makes the connection between 'i like this idea' and the fanlist-joining?  it's not like a fanCLUB.  the friendship of russel and paul is a great thing, but we're STILL all warmfuzzying about it separately, y'know?

ps read chevalier's the lady and the unicorn today.  v nice.

Actually, that's another thing. You don't actually join anything, nothing's expected of you, and you aren't expected to do anything or interact with anyone else. It's almost an anti-club.

I am happy, for example, to put a little Dragnet fanlisting icon on my Dragnet icon page. Even something as uninvolving as lurking on a Dragnet mailing list, assuming any exist, would be a different proposition. ;)
