Chris Worth said.... I wasn't really thinking when I said that Tigermilk should not be re - released. I think I just felt like saying something a bit controversial, especially after having felt a bit pissed off about the Manics / Smiths comment. [neil h] Oh, oh. As the person who made the Manics/Smiths comments in question and therefor inadvertently inspired such a domino sequence of people getting mad I think I owe you all an apology. But by way of explanation... Last year I was starting to use the internent properly and I left a message on a Smiths list that went saomething like... Hey boys and girls, this is my first message so I hope its OK.... and then went on to ask a question about Paint A Vulgure Picture. And then all these people just jumped on me for using the misogynist word girl... for not knowing that Paint a Vulgur Picture absolutlely is/ is not about the Smiths... So it was maybe a bit of a generalisation and I did not mean to imply that all Smiths Manics fans are like that (cos I probably fall into both catagories) and I fell really gulty and I'm reallly sorry... So apologies to you all and Chris especially and I'll think about what I'm saying more in future... Sorry again, neil -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Just for reference the word "girl" is not banned on this list. Nor are the words "boy" or "sponge". Keen regular listeners will know that there is one phrase that IS banned, that the mailing list software will reject. It's purely a matter of prejudice :) Paul P.S. TimH: your mail client is appending a uuencoded file "winmail.dat" to your mail - dunno what it is - could you ask it not to?
