Brad's response to the riddle.........

**FanHalen** · 01.31.02, 11:56 AM

This whole thing is getting blown way out of proportion, that's
for sure. I've made no claims or promises about an event takinig
place. I've added some cryptic lines to my sig file to see how
closely people are paying attention and to see if they could
decipher what they mean. I actually thought people would have
some fun trying to figure out what it stood for.

Boy was I wrong! While some folks are having fun trying
to figure out what it means, others are whipping themselves
into a frenzy with all kinds of rampant thoughts about
the band. This action will only result in disappointment
for those that do the latter.

Lighten up, have fun and don't read so much into things, folks!

When there are major band announcements to be made, you
won't see short lines in my sig file, that's for sure.

Your favorite punching bag,
Brad

He just doesn't get it. It's really ridiculous already.

**SgtSchultz** · 01.31.02, 12:01 PM

This was a message sent form Brad directly to you? Because he didn't post it to the vh yahoo mailing list.

**Lou** · 01.31.02, 12:02 PM

What an ass.

**Glenn** · 01.31.02, 12:03 PM

"Hey look, the peddles on this bicycle go backwards too!!!"

**Chet Dakota** · 01.31.02, 12:05 PM

Unbeleiveable....The Brad Machine must have thrown a gear as fast as he just popped it into reverse.

What a guy...he should have known better.

By the way...California Penal Code 21212 is not wearing a bycycle helment. Maybe Wolfie got busted and he has a court date on Friday.

I wonder if the band even has clue one about how much they've damaged (and are continuing to damage) their reputation with their fans. Even though a bulk of us will support their next project, I think for many of us the shine has really come off the band, and will never quite be the same again.

Maybe that's just me though.

a+c~/ 598 = zkj-67?<pi> x 360

And that's all there is to it!

**Rikk** · 01.31.02, 12:07 PM

That's it. Now I'm fucking mad. That idiot, knowing how much we've been stepped on for the last two and a half years, thought this would all be FUNNY?? Is he an idiot. Why else would we think he is leaving cryptic messages?

This guy is an insulting fucking idiot, and he should be fired for this latest mess. I'm tired of all of this. I've been waiting too long, and I've reminded myself time and time again that this is just a band. They've screwed us over too long, and this guy's having fun with that. He thinks this wait is funny.

Fuck Brad, fuck Van Halen. I'M REALLY MAD NOW. They just don't get it!

**FanHalen** · 01.31.02, 12:08 PM

Brad e-mailed this message to me and asked for me to pass it on to everyone.

**SgtSchultz** · 01.31.02, 12:09 PM

Hold on people. If Brad said this, why didn't he post it from his own e-mail address on the vh yahoo groups as he has done before? The above message from Brad was not posted by Brad himself. It was posted (without any typical quoting marks by someone else claiming it was a message from Brad)

Until I see a post from HIS e-mail on the board I would wait.

You knob. What did you think would happen?? Good lord, you have absorbed and learned NOTHING as a "webmaster" about how people react to your font.

I've made no claims or promises about an event takinig
place.

yeah, you were "carefully" fucking with people.

I've added some cryptic lines to my sig file to see how
closely people are paying attention and to see if they could
decipher what they mean.

liar. you were causing a stir and enjoying the buzz you created.

I actually thought people would have
some fun trying to figure out what it stood for.

Dummy.

Boy was I wrong!

Ya think so ace? [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Thanks for the sermon. Maybe try not to be a dumbass in the futre. May save you heartache.

Lighten up, have fun and don't read so much into things, folks!

You asshole. You really do dig this shit dont you? Dont read so much into things is your advice? People wouldnt HAVE to if you knew how to fucking communicate!

When there are major band announcements to be made, you
won't see short lines in my sig file, that's for sure.

Where were you for the split with WB?....oh yeah, "not newsworthy"

I forgot. Also forgot what an excellent judge you are in what is and isnt worthy of being news.

Your favorite punching bag,
Brad

You got that right. You are now. Go ahead, bring the dome back up. I'ts party time.

**Canyon Carver** · 01.31.02, 12:13 PM

I can't help but wonder if Brad's employer (EVH) is really aware of how much crap is strirred about whenever Brad makes a statement....

**AbeVanHalen** · 01.31.02, 12:15 PM

"Brad...you're mine."

**Goo** · 01.31.02, 12:15 PM

Aww... Mr Innocent. 'look at all the fuss'. Ain't it cute!

No doubt theres the Brad fan club thats gonna say 'Brads cool! This was funny!'..

Well its not, It's just another example of this ego-driven twat fucking with people. He obviously hadnt heard his name mentioned for a day or two and decided to cause a riot or two.

Fuck off Brad, you knew exactly what would happen. It's happened before.

Spikey haired anal plug! I didn't buy into any of this from the get-go. Simply because I KNOW your full of it. You've proven it so many times!

You not just a mushroom because your kept in the dark. Your a mushroom because your happily living in a pile of shit!!
