Sinister: When I get stuck in the lift it's always with a toff...
(Honey, are you going to let me get away with this?) Ever felt like an outsider in a world run by rude people with no heart... no soul? Never really been accepted by the "in" crowd? Your ideas, your tastes are a little different than everyone else's, right? I suspect most B&S fans have a lot of these things in common. Too sensitive. Does "being here first" entitle you to treat newcomers the same way you've been treated in the past? I suppose so. And I suppose it makes you feel really good about yourselves to have someone to look down upon. More power to you, I say! I'm sure you've succeeded in chasing away plenty of the "new fans." Congratulations! Belle & Sebastian would be so proud! I've met some wonderful people through this list, and I treasure their friendship. But you elitists can choke on the weeds in your little garden for all I care. jeanette <<look at the new jeepster b&s list this way- "all the brand spanking new fans who we were complaining about having to associate with can now go elsewhere." jeepster is kindly keeping the garden from being overrun.>> +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

I know, I know, we're not supposed to talk about the list on the list. But this really got to me. I guess i count as one of the old-timers round here - after all, I was here last time the list changed address as well - but I don't think anyone who knows me would describe me as elitist. And of all the people I've met from the list (quite a lot now) none struck me as such. So all I want to say, and I'm sure I speak for pretty much everyone here (that makes me sound really arrogant saying that, but I can't think of a better way of putting it), is that everyone is welcome here, old or new. Don't get put off. The thing I like most about Sinister is that I can imagine that everyone here is the sweetest person alive, and that I would instantly like everyone of you I met; and to date I've never been proved wrong. To all the newbies out there (and everyone else for that matter), join the club, it's good to have you along. After all, we don't want you to feel the need to defect to any other discussion lists do we?
