Hmmmm....Dave......same counts for you as for everybody...... Everyone has the right to express his/her opinion I believe...even the ones who want to complain about something or make a remark...It's a little democratic society we have here, so everyone should be allowed to speak his mind freely, as long as he/she doesn't insult others or doesn't abuse the list for personal showing-off.It's only in this way that we can abolish some behaviours that may cause dysfunction of the list.Maybe in this way , by listening to the other's opinion, we could make this list more interesting and friendly for EVERYBODY. Truth be told, the whole Pink Floyd thing went a bit too far, I'm not talking about the people who made reasonable statements and explained their reasons for liking or disliking that particular group, but for the ones who ,without explaining in the least why they think so, exclaimed that PF are "shite"or this or that....I'm not going for either of two as I was on the nursery at that time and just watched curiously what was going on and tried to figured out how things work in here...And I got quite confused...but thankfully everything has come back to normal now... Unfortunately I won't be able to follow this thread (?) as I'm going on holidays and I'm leaving tonight, but I'll be looking forward to coming back and reading all your mails ,that most of the times, if not always,are a pleasant surprise...and that is because,as Gordon (or Gorgon) remarked -welcome to the land of sinister by the way Gordon- ,maybe more than anything else about B&S I like the people that like them. And that is the most important thing ,I believe. Whoever doesn't like the PEOPLE on the list is free to unsubsribe, there's nothing we can do about that, everyone is who he is, but when it comes to posts....before judging you should first try to be a bit more patient and then try to see if the other has a point and what you can do about that.Then you, or we, could discuss it on the list if it's of general interest.... Well, that's what I think at least...it doesn't mean I'm right....I'm open to suggestions, but after the 8th of August. : ) For the moment I'll have to mend my suitcase that my hamster thought would make a nice snack and munched a whole corner of it.And I only found out today!!! bye bye to you all!! *waving a handkerchief* Sunny mornings and starry nights to you all, Joanna +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
