Should I ask your permission what I should say? Mind your own business (c).

Essentially, posting is everyone's business, so I was and did mind my own business.

 For the record, yes, you should ask my permission.( please do so in the future)  Especially as you're so fond of chiding other posters for what they post

[SurferDownUnder]

How 'bout searching 1st before making another topic? All you do is just type "Bruce murder": http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,5260.0.html

Altho, this should of been posed in the Thread for insignificant questions (and many latest threads).

Sorry I didn't realise it bothered you so much.....

I said that to return the favor, hence the (c).

SurferDownUnder, you made this thread to know if Bruce commented on the story. It's a mere question that requires a single answer. Looking at your account info, you signed up this year but have already posted on the Thread for insignificant questions. The original post belongs there. If you wanted to know more - for that reason this board has enormous archive that you can go read anytime. Look at the link I brought - it's basically the same answers. Nothing new. It isn't against the rules to revive an old thread. Recent examples:

- BB/BW music in movies
- BB Historical sites
- Carolyn Williams.

Each garnered few new responses. Reasons to post on an old thread are to add sth. new, ask about some quote if it's true/happened for real, to clarify some statement, just agree with smb. or start discussion. That's what search function is for. That, & learn more about the band. Most everyone here started as a lurker - as we couldn't contribute, we read on. Some of us still do. What I'm getting at is it would suffice to read an old thread on the subject you've been curious about instead of starting new one. There is a stickied thread in the Sandbox where we spoke of this - reviving vs. new thread & most people agreed that the former is better. And you have to understand that with all these new threads, the other ones go several pages back. "May" is relatively recent, yet it's gone far back. Some posters can't cope with the threads coming up on a near-daily basis.

Finally, don't feel like you're not welcome. This is usual thing on the board. We're just helping newbies. Pretty Funky, John Manning, guitarfool2002 etc. - all linked to an already existing thread before. Moderators can't check everything, anyone can give advice to a fellow poster.

If the Beach Boys were stars of a series of mystery novels, a la the Hardy Boys, "Bruce And The Murder" would be a perfect title for book number 7, because that's what number he is in the Beach Boys chronology.

[J.G. Dev]

Volume 5 of the Beach Boys Mysteries series would feature Al: "the Mystery of the Airplane Lavatory"

[Komera]

Volume 4: Mike and the F***ing of the Formula?

[Coda Hall]

Volume 6: Murry and the case of Dave not carrying his equipment.

[cant wait]

Volume 3: "The Wilson Boys and the Mystery of Whose My Daddy"

[clack]

The Diamond Necklace Played the Pawn : a Van Dyke Parks Mystery.

I gotta say, the title of this thread is hilarious

Maybe take off the blinkers & read my post again? What I said was fair, polite & raised many good points. Can't deny it, anyone who has decent reading skills.
I explained to SurferDownUnder mentioning that this question should instead be posted in the Thread for insignificant questions or continued in an old thread on the same subject. What's so difficult to follow this advice, really? It's a common thing here, another recent example is "Carl's grave". Or "Keep It Clean with Al Jardine T-shirt" one.

So take my advice, SurferDownUnder.
I was really surprised to read these weird strong reactions to my post. Like I said sth. really offensive? Funny folk.

It's all good, no problems anyway as far as I can see, point taken

I've been around this and related boards for more years than I like to admit but it is always good to rehash some long archived topic of interest.    I still ,  hard to believe, don't know every detail of the band and these people.    and I seldom read archives.     sure, some topics are painfully redundant but on occasion, someone brings up a juicy forgotten detail that resonates with more recent topics.
