sorry about that, I was just trying to clarify on a UK based mailing list that slurs against the Southern US are cheap shots, and should be taken with a grain of salt by any one in the UK where I once tried to ship a vhs copy of Clockwork Orange to a friend only to have it returned by customs as banned material. I was told that it (along with such films as the Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, and Abel Ferrara's Driller Killer) was illegal to import there. I was surprised, as I didn't realise that your government was in the business of banning things. Was I misled? Has the policy changed? Either way I felt the need to correct the misinformation on the list that the south has "constantly" banned books when they actually haven't, and I apologize for overextending my attempt at adding context to that correction. ----------

Ah, we are all sitting around the dinner table of Sinister. The food is nice, beer is free and company is polite. But what is it people say, erm, oh year, never discuss politics and religion.
Though I don't know why mailto:stray4f@prodigy.net started slagging off the UK. The 'criticisms' of the US South came from an American living in America. But anyway, Lets not uncover the racism that exists far too close to the surface to be twee.
