I for one don't know if I have the kill file option. I don't understand the logic behind that solution, though. I mean, I would have completely missed that MTV interview due to the fact that "[Kate makes happy motion with her head]" was in it. I get the Love-Hounds list in digest form and don't think I have the option to 'kill' anything without killing the whole file. I don't understand why the posters of Happy info. can't just cut down on the things like the lyrics. The lyrics are the most nuisance. I have said it before, twice, I don't mind hearing about Happy's style or reactions to her music, or even answers to questions about her albums (like the recent T'Pau question/answer/same question/same answer session. But at least these people aren't posting a mile long listing of "Heart and Soul" and other T'Pau songs! Which brings me to my next request. Could the big T'Pau fans please e-mail ME...NOT the Love-Hounds list (because...that would be _rude_)...the lyrics to "Heart and Soul" including the soft, low-voiced spoken vocals "walking on the wa-ter.."?

If you're using 'rn' just try using the 'k' key. You won't get any more articles which match that subject line. You can even edit the pattern matching, if you want to make it general enough to get all subject lines with 'Happy' in it. If you're getting this via email, sorry. Write a program to edit it out, if you want.. shouldn't be too hard. >I don't understand why the posters of Happy info. can't just cut >down on the things like the lyrics. The lyrics are the most nuisance. I have to completely disagree here. I, for one, am VERY, VERY grateful to Vickie -n- company for taking the time to provide us with lyrics to Happy's music. They aren't provided with her music, and her efforts here have saved many of us who *like* Happy's music from going to the trouble to transcribe them ourselves. This digest has traditionally been not just a KaTe forum. Go back and look at the archives if you don't believe me. I remember lots of other artists taking up bandwidth here, including Sinead 'O Conner, Jane Siberry, Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, etc.. The bottom line is just because *you* don't want to read it, that doesn't mean the rest of us feel the same way. The way I see it, if KaTe's lyrics can be posted, then so can those of any other artist we happen to be discussing. If you don't want to see them, then just unsuscribe. -Lee
