Sinister: Philippe, if you're out there won't you hear me?:)

Sinisterines
For once (and hopefully this will be the final time) this posting is not as 
light-hearted and frothy as most of my previous postings. As I am writing to 
tell of how my trust has been betrayed… by a fellow Sinisterine no less, 
Philippe Garnier. Yes 'our' very own witty Frenchman with whom I was 
supposed to conduct a trade with in October last year. Only, that I actually 
sent MY STUFF (about two tapes worth) to him and never got anything in 
return. And it's been, count it, about six months folks. I know I know (and 
I'm addressing this to you Philippe too) that he had to go leave France for 
America for work and all that but I don't think that gives anyone the right 
to ignore someone else like that. I mean we all have other priorities other 
than music, but taping three C90's worth of music is not going to take up 
too much of anyone's time.  I don't know if I should be writing this sort of 
stuff to the list, but I just don't know who else to turn to. I love being 
on this list a lot, and implicitly trust the people on it. When I went to 
London, so many fantastic, beautiful people pitched in, telling me the best 
places to shop and offering to meet me and all that. So I presumed that 
everyone on this list would be like that. And at the beginning, Philippe 
seemed like that too. When I first joined the list, I remember that Philippe 
was the one who so generously taped the Black Sessions and distributed it to 
a person in each continent so that they could dub for other listees in that 
particular continent. Which I thought was a particularly nice thing to do. 
So I really don't know what to make of him and the situation now. In the 
past few months I have written more than six emails to him, all unanswered, 
and yet he still finds time to write to the list. So to me it seems like he 
is ignoring me. Now, I will be forever deprived of a copy of the B&S Black 
Sessions (yes this was around the time of all the talk of their Black 
Sessions, that's how long ago it all was), as well as the Tindersticks, 
Divine Comedy and Nick Cave black sessions too. Oh woe is me! I missed out 
on so many trades, in the mistaken and misguided belief that Philippe would 
honour our agreement.
My first instinct is always to be kind and generous and give people the 
benefit of the doubt but there is always a limit. I have conducted so many 
successful trades already so I had no reason to not trust Philippe.
Philippe, if you're out there, I still believe in the goodness of mankind 
and in particular, of this special list full of very special people. So 
please please please, do NOT ignore me (a very unfair and cruel thing to do) 
and write back, and above all, HONOUR OUR AGREEMENT!!!:)
Well for the time being, I hope I haven't broken any rules of the list and 
hope my fears will be allayed as soon as possible
Till later listees
