Dear Sinister, Elle Zober reminded us: "but i am friends with Bel" That's nice for you - thanks for sharing it with us (again) :-) She then emoted: "why do people feel the need to discuss the Belle's in personal terms anyway? does anyone on this list actaully know Isobel, or Stuart or Mick?" But don't you think you are the one discussing them in personal terms? I find the fact that you *know* them is more likely to introduce exactly the element of discomfort into the list which you seem to find in Sarah/LJ/whoever's posts. It seems to me that to most people, the band fulfil the traditional role of the unobtainable popstars, whose job is to cause an emotional response in their fans. And this list is for discussing precisely that. I think Sarah's posts are hilarious, and the way that her letters are funny, eye-opening *and* about Belle and Sebastian doesn't "negate the purpose of this List", but is precisely what the list should be about. Even though I don't agree with her. :-) I'm off to make my directorial dreams reality, well, sort of. If you need me, I'll be in the studio, luvvies :-) Mark xxx ******************************************************************* The contents of this e mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.
