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.

Byee,
