this list is a fuckin' nail. i'm so off it.
I dunno what a fookin nail is but I gather it's not complimentary - well I guess Ellis will have to make his own list that he likes better. Everyone else - don't have a go on the list please, there's no need, it's called probation. While we're on - can some people be more judicious in their quoting please - just quote the smallest amount from a previous mail you need to make your point - and try and make it as readable as you can. Lots new people have suddenly joined the list. HELLO. Have fun and please read the list rules on the WWW site in the footer. I'm Honey, your hostess for the flight, would you like ice in that, sir?

Don't forget that August 25th is Stuart Murdoch's birthday, so get knitting, girls!
Yes and I'll have a nice pair of booties too please because Sinister is one year old 2 days later. Debate is raging about how to celebrate it - hey I could shut the list down as a surprise! Or or or - I could change it to horticulture list! All postings that don't contain the word "clematis" will be banned. On Sat, 8 Aug 1998, Rod Nonplussed wrote:
Dear Mr Honey Paul,
I am instructed by my client, Roderick Alexander Begbie, to inform you that the addition of '+' symbols to the standard message tagged onto mails to the Sinister mailing list contravenes his copyright.
Mr Begbie has used an identical line in all his .signatures for bloomin' ages now, and feels he owns copyright on the '70 dashes with + signs at either end' device.
Dear Mr Rodney's solicitor sir - I was using plus's when young Wod was in short pants and having his fingers rapped by Keith's ruler. I just erm.. stopped for a bit. It's all part of a fiendish masterplan to rid the digest users of death-by-multiple-list-signatures so there.
