Future:
- Interview video is posted.
- There is a public outcry because Trent avoided answering every single question and we don't actually learn anything or get the answers we want and this whole thing was a complete waste of time.
- Trent decides never to do agree to this kinda thing ever again.

(Note: this post may contain several attempts at humour, your personal experience may vary.)

Since I'm unsure where you got lost, I'll just start from the beginning:

- Some really stupid questions were asked in the Digg Dialogg, so Trent said he'd answer some "true fan" questions and that he wanted us to organise ourselves.
- There was a public outcry over the meaning of "true fan"
- People posted a bunch of stupid questions in a dedicated "post your questions here" thread. (Except for the people who are still posting questions in the wrong thread.)
- the nin.com mods decided a committee should be elected to select 20(ish) questions that would then go to a public nin.com members public poll to get the 10 "best" questions.
- There was a public outcry over the meaning of "self organise"
- nin.com members nominated/voted on a committee, which was supplemented by a few mod-selected mods.
- There was a public outcry because the nomination instructions weren't clear.
- The committee threw out all the questions and made up their own sorted through 500+ stupid questions and came up with 23 passable questions.
- There was a public outcry because some people didn't like the questions chosen, and some people accused the committee of various wrongdoings, despite no-one ever mentioned giving the committee any guidelines.
- The 23 questions went to a public poll for 48(?) hours and the 10 questions were determined.
- There was a public outcry, where several people gave their opinions on the questions selected, far too late to do any good.
- There was also an unofficial poll, which has yielded a fair selection of questions which may indicate that there was no need for a committee.
- The nin.com mods asked people for input as to which mod should conduct the video interview with Trent: no-one really cared, so they chose Papagolash.
- There was a public outcry over Papagolash's health and finances.
- Trent is currently waiting for Papagolash to find time in his schedule to do the interview. (or something like that anyway.)

(lots of stuff)

All this time, based on false information that was provided to me, I was under the impression that we were all going to get to ride Trent Reznor like a horsey for several hours in exchange for our participating in this committee. I feel robbed.

[edit: I want a refund for the hat I already bought in anticipation of my Grand Prize.]

Hum...there's nothing in there, nymph.

There may be no picture, maro, but you can still vote on every gallery entry.

And you can still post comments - as illustrated on the link i just gave.

Again, having been given no rules up front, it was hard to think like you guys think, but I tried my best. I thought I was given a "job" to do, which was to represent the NIN fan base -- not my own personal interests -- and I took it seriously.

If I failed you, I'm sorry. But, I did my best.

(p.s. I think the other members of the committee did their best, too, there was a lot of time invested in this and people took it seriously and tried to do a good job. Marodi, it's a wonder she didn't go BLIND compiling those questions. And Guilty helped a lot, too, with her graphics.)
