Hi there This will mainly be of interest to those who were subscribers to FruitBowl, the Strange Fruit mailing list, and UK Sinister members, so apologies to those of you elsewhere. Over the weekend, someone logged into the Strange Fruit 'FruitBowl' moderator's Yahoo User ID and deleted all of the mailing lists and memberships. So FruitBowl (the Strange Fruit information service) was deleted (along with the charity Group, LondonIndieUSA). Yahoo have said that they cannot get anything back, so FruitBowl has lost all of its 600 members. So, if you used to be a member of FruitBowl, and wish to rejoin, or else if you were never a member and want to join anyway to get our newsletter and announcements, then you need to rejoin. Either do so through YahooGroups, searching for "fruit_bowl", or go to: www.strange-fruit.co.uk/subscribe/subscribe.htm At the above link you'll find a sign-up box and you can get back on to FruitBowl from there. Alternatively, just respond to me at this email address & we will add you to the list. Please forward this to anyone you think might be interested. Sincere apologies if this has inconvenienced anyone and thank-you to Sinister for posting this message. Thanks for your support, Julia on behalf of Strange Fruit _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
