Well, It's been awhile since I suggested the Kate Bush mailing list, and the I think enough "votes" are in for me to make the following statements: 1) MOST people feel that there is too much Kate Bush material on the net. This includes some KB fans who feel that it turns people off of KB. 2) MANY people want some Kate Bush material to stay on the net, they just don't want to deal with the long word by word analysis and daily record release updates and such. 3) A FEW people commented on Doug Alan's refusal to use the reply feature of both readnews and rn. (Sorry Doug). Approx. real votes were: Keep Kate on the Net: 4.5 votes Create a Mailing List: 11.5 votes (including one vote of 1,032,345) So, I am now creating a katebush mailing list. I will moderate it at first (although I really don't want to), and if noone volunteers to take it over, I will send a message to Chuq in two weeks announcing its creation. I am sending a letter to the people who indicated interest in the list, so if you don't see a letter from me within a reasonable time period, assume that you're not on the list, and send me a request. Apoligies for the weird stuff in the TO: field in that letter, mail -s seems to be having problems here. Kate Bush fans should continue to post REASONABLE things about her to the net (such as SHORT reviews and perhaps even a tour schedule, if/when she decides to tour), but things of more fanatical nature (lyrical analysis, sexual commentary, KB vs. Scruffy the Cat discussions) should be confined to the mailing list. I hope this works. Don't forget to send me your topten lists. p.s. TO: ihnp4!seismo!harvard!bbncca!bbnccv!lcliffor, I can't seem to reply to your message, but I'll try to again. Send me a better path if you can. -- Sam Rebelsky -- Archivist @ DOC Films - The nation's oldest student film group UUCP : ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!r032 ARPA : x9.xsr%uchicago.mailnet@mit-multics.arpa "All's fair in love and war, and this is revolution." -- Fred Astaire
