Ok... (sound of offstage giggling) - let's calm it down a little please. Strong opinions very welcome but gratuitous insults are not. JJ and duke, you know I love you dearly and this isn't a dig. You can also tell I half agree with both of you from my last postings. For everyone else: a Welcome To Sinister 1998 message, a little overdue from Paul your list admin guy who gets a kicking for these little hints to be nice. It says here that there are a staggering 427 people on the list now, which is such a great increase I'm off to check my software - this'll include a few dead accounts which I will clear out when I get a min. But for everyone new and old hands: happy new year and well done for winning a mailing list award which is all your doing. Thing is, I want to keep it this way. I know a few of you hate intervention but to newcomers: 1. Please read the WWW pages: URL at the bottom of every message. 2. Please remember this is a B&S list - this doesn't mean every message needs to contain a reference to Chris Geddes' underpants, but just - well remember there's a sort of focus around which we all revolve. 3. I'm not going to let this list descend into squabbles - one of the amazing things about meeting people at the concert was how bloody nice you all were! So keep it that way, there's a strong community spirit here, and I have plans to buy up a row of houses and move in with you all. However strong opinions and eccentric arse are strongly encouraged on the list - take your lead from the old-timers. 4. Mail me at owner-sinister@majordomo.net if you ever get stuck with the list, or feel things aren't going the way you want them too. Majority opinions hold sway. Erm - that's it. Be nice to each other, marry, have babies and have a nice 1998. Honey xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
