etc I'm sorry, but isn't this just spam?. Since I've been on this list this guy has sent this advert about four times, not once adding anything to this list that I can remember. Now I know there are a few of us on the list who may run or frequent clubs that play B&S, but these have been only mentioned in relation to discussions or the imminent release of a B&S single. I operate a club that plays B&S. I won't say what or where it is since many of you on the list have kindly done that for me already (many thanks in particular to Keith). I wouldn't dream of spamming the list with an ad for it!!! Maybe I'm being finicky, but I'd rather download even the most trivial B&S related mail than Dr Stride's monthly efforts.
