The Benjamin Franklin Questionnaire

Ok the smoke is starting to get kinda thick.. so here's a questionnaire. Where do y'all in the ORG stand?
[X] "In the matter of a blinking eye all of us right now can testify. Take a stand, radical man."

[ ] NPGMC is not answering to my satisfaction, my paying or potential customer inquiry or complaint.
[ ] NPGMC in the past 10 months has not sent me what I would call exclusively new music.
[ ] I am not happy that NPGMC has sent only 1 cd with mostly previously released music from year 1.

[ ] I think NPGMC posts rude commentary responses to consumer concerns on the website or in its cryptic emails.
[ ] I feel that positive criticism of NPGMC's service is the only way to make it better.
[ ] I am disappointed that NPGMC is reportedly releasing a 3 CD set of old songs performed live to customers at the same time that it is being released to retail at a cheaper price.
[ ] NPG Records owns NPGMC and has a history of problems with non-delivery of product and bad customer service yet I believe they will honor the advertised promises.

reportedly being treated this year and therefore think the club is getting worse.
[ ] I understand that NPGMC charges extra $ for many services (concert tickets, after shows, preferred seating, retail) that are not part of the $100 membership fee, yet they attempt to fool new members by misleading advertising practices that fooled me and others into believing that they were part of the membership fee.

What I think should be done here is the creation of a well constructed form letter listing each of our grievances with the club. Then, each of us sends that letter to the BBB.

I suggested this in an earlier thread but no-one was interested.

It seems that lots of people are prepared to bitch about the service but aren't prepared to pool resources and try a different method. I urge club members to get together and construct an e-mail petition to send to the 'club'. I will also start a thread of the new mail I sent to NPGMC which does not contain the repetative questionng about ONA live.

*** well I would -but I know that there is no way I would get the $$$ back...so I would just think very carefully before I signed up next year...very carefully...my $$$ is hard earned - and I could have done more with it on bootlegs - u reading this P...cut the crap and give us VALUE - don't rip us off like Warners supposedly ripped u off...or maybe u got fooled by the CONtract like we have been this year...premium means exclusive alright...ripped off exclusively - unless of course we got more 2 come than a half baked CD (ONA) and a 3 CD set that will be in shops before too long...at a cheaper price no doubt...
