Hello all. I would have to agree with Brian on the futility of keeping things anonymous. First off, he knows his own boards and surely the logistics of posting 500+ lyrics anonymously would be a nightmare. Secondly, even if it were possible and feasible, it wouldn`t work as being totally anonymous. I know several of us on the #2 lyric board share lyric ideas and hooks with each other, even before they become lyrics. Through emails or IM`s or phone calls, alot of us talk about what we`re working on/what`s in the "hopper" and even give each other pre-post reviews/ideas on lyrics. This process may seem ridiculous to some who don`t communicate as freely, but it really supports the theory "we`re all in this together". (Usually makes a better, more polished lyric too!) So...to back up what Brian says...if I send in an anonymous lyric, chances are a few of my JPF friends have already seen it, or knew I was working on that hook, so "total anonymity" is probably unattainable.

As far as knowing the results of where my lyric finished...I don`t want to know. If my lyric isn`t one of the top five, obviously it could have been better, and wasn`t as good as five others. Doesn`t matter if I come in 15th, or 105th, or 297th, or 439th, or dead last. If I didn`t win, (or at least place in the top five)...the next lyric I enter needs to be better. It`s that simple, to me anyway. Just my thoughts. Dano. [Linked Image]
