Ringo Starr is still pretending that people care about drummers. Last October Ringo told fans via his website that he was done signing things. Apparently he’s not happy about people selling his autograph on Ebay.

That’s the old news. The new news is that because of the angry reaction from fans over his no-autograph policy, Ringo has not made an on-line appearance since.

A close source to Ringo explains: “Ringo used to enjoy telling fans about his plans, but he was pretty shocked by the hostility he faced over the autograph thing. As a result, he’s reluctant to appear on the website again.”

Great, there goes my Ringo-Starr-autographed oven mitt get-rich-quick scheme.
