Sinister: the JOBBYMEN (WHO)

[Keith Watson]

I wrote :

<<Hate to say it but it does seem to be pretty dull these days. The list was
much better in the old days, when the fans were REAL and the people writing
to the list were BETTER like when Moses used to pitch in with his comments
about Stuart's early tracks like "Missed the bus lost my mess" . Liked
Martin Horsefield's bit about casuals... etc.>>

Then someone else wrote quoting my bit above :

<<Right, I don't want to sound tooo elitist, but considering that there have
been QUITE a few posts from listmembers whinging about how much better the
list used to be and how awful the list is now (probably because of posts
like
this one that you're reading!), i do have a suggestion based on a real-life
mailinglist experience which has actually worked:>>



Which I found funny, I don't think I've ever been accused of being an
elitist before. Seems a bit strange given the nature of my quote. I mean I
know some people might be a bit slow on the uptake, but as far as I
remember, Moses never was on the Belle and Sebastian list - and I don't
think Stuart writes songs about losing his mess, at least not without
couching them in "being stuck to the sheets" style language. In any case,
just to clarify, what I wrote above is a joke. Not serious, it's true the
mailing list is clogged up with a lot of pointless posts, I mean, I'd be
lying if I said otherwise, but in reality there's no greater percentage of
shite than there ever was, just actually more of it now.

	I suppose when you get two hundred mails in your mailbox

Ps : Just to clarify, in case people didn't read the Duke's message clearly
enough - here's a summary - he's got the new EP

Hey, I think this'll be the first time I've sent a mail to the list at the
weekend.

Cheers,
  Keith.
