Hello all. This is list abuse at it's very finest, I'm afraid. That's not supposed to sound like a boast, it's supposed to sound like an apology. And now I must apologise for *two* things: the list abuse and the seemingly boastful behavior... D'oh. Anyway, having realised that I only open my mouth to change feet, I will mention that Alexander Bartilson made some rather interesting comments on "what if" etc. Just to augment his thoughts, I thought I would give some musical perspective to the whole issue. There is a song written about exactly this topic. It's "Something Changed" from the MIGHTY MIGHTY Pulp. It's a phab song, with phab lyrics and tune and arrangement and everything, and when it's played live, the MIGHTY MIGHTY Jarv plays a really ornately decorated 12-string, which *I* find exciting at least. There may be other songs specifically about Alexander's point, but that was the first that sprung to mind. That's all really. Pretty inconsequential I know, but perhaps helpful to all of us out there who like to take their philosophy in 4 minute chunks. Okay then, bye. love, Sam.x P.S. I got a list crush vote! How exciting is that! Again, this is not written in boast, but in bewilderment. I've never had anybody make totally unprompted advances toward me before, and I'm very happy indeed. I'd love to know who it is though - go on, reveal yourself (please).... ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
