At this point, a Smiths reunion seems like a plausible move- likely brought about by Morrissey's PR people in a last-gasp effort to reclaim some of the goodwill that the guy has squandered over the last decade or so. I've said for a long time that Morrissey's worst enemy, is Morrissey. He has damaged his "brand" as evidenced by the performance of his last several albums, as well as playing to crowds of 1-2000 (if he's lucky) when his peers are commanding much larger crowds.
And a website, too: http://www.officialsmiths.co.uk/ (mentioned on the Twitter page).
Something about "The Interactive Sound of The Smiths (1982-1987)". Going to have a look now...
Cool, but what could they possibly post about? New singles, tour dates, merchandise. Obviously none of those. I don't see what use an official twitter page is, to a band which split 30 years ago

That website's been going for quite some time, maybe a couple of years or more. The Twitter account has not.
I've been saying for years it's the logical conclusion and the only thing that can happen. Lots of others disagreed.
I often agree with you more than most here, Peter, but the only logical conclusion I would draw from this is that they are preparing to crank up the corporate greed cycle by foisting some type of best-of/most-of product in tandem with the 30th anniversary of The Queen Is Dead. Besides, Morrissey is too busy pulling pints and Johnny is too busy rinsing his grays.
Life without hope is hopeless.
