WTF is up with Ringo Starr saying he won't sign any fanmail after October 20th?

Is he pretending he has a life again?
Seriously, what is the deal here? Anybody know?

4. I guess the overwhelming demand for his time and his signature finally reached the breaking point.

5. When you're 68, there's more to life than signing autographs

I'm 46 and I stopped giving out autographs years ago (but in my case it was only because no one wanted mine)

10. Either the fan mail has slackened off, and this is his way of stirring up interest

Or, perhaps he really gets a lot and has decided that the dubious pleasure of signing one's name over and over really isn't worth the carpal tunnel...
