Dear Listerines, The following is a note i wrote to our illustrious list leader asking him to reconsider his decision about Iain. I guess I'm not fey enough to be considered one of the 'Sinister' elite and warrant a response. I'm very nice, really! And so is Iain. Susannah May 17th, 1999 Dear Honey, Hello there...I don't mean to take up your time or anything, because I too would be livid after reading the post sent by Iain Hamilton...but forgive me saying, i think you were a wee bit harsh with his banishment. He didn't mean to be rude, it was just a silly joke that he made up after he read the Momus Stars Forever lyrics written about the Indiepop mailing list. In fact, it's really all my fault this whole debacle happened, i told him to send it to the 'Sinister' list, because I thought a lot of Listerines would get a kick out of it. If i hadn't egged him on, he probably wouldn't have bothered, and feelings would have been spared. Kick me off the list, if anyone. I generally don't post much, and neither did Iain- he was just poking a little bit of fun at some of the silly people on here who happen to be just a little too concerned with their indie cred. He's really a very nice, kind man, and he meant no harm. Please reconsider your decision to kick him off, in the past his posts have been nothing but entertaining and amusing...one of the more approachable Belle And Sebastian fans. He was, after all, only speaking his mind. As for the bad language...he's not as twee as the rest of us, you know. Anyway, thank you for your time.
