With some measure of consternation, I note the continuing inability of 'our fearless leaderess', her myriad assistants and representatives (retained and court-appointed) to provide SOME ready means to receive or, at least acknowledge, the accumulating mass of fan support communications that's been swirling up since last Fall.

Perhaps that's the inevitable result of Britnery's determination to terminate professional public relations services.

Even so, Britney's parents, in control by court decree, apparently have a spokesperson on retainer and I see no reason why one of the Jive Records 'suits' can't step into the breach.

Anything that enhances Britney's following among her listenership should be a plus for album sales, as well.

Someone, somehow needs to 'connect the dots' to remedy this failing.
