Thanks to David Moore for keeping an eye on the 
list, as do others.  It is 
much appreciated.

He is perfectly correct:

The list rules say:
"Don't send lists of your favourite bands/films 
or anything to the list, 
and don't join in if someone else asks people 
to.  This is the plague of
mailing lists the world over: lists  of "things 
I like" are usually
completely useless the other end, and usually 
mean they want you to 
know how tasteful they are. If you want to talk 
about bands you like, tell 
us why."

The last sentence is very important - lists are 
like junk food - 
initially satisfying but then leave the list 
stomach with an 
empty, unfulfilled gaping hole.  Too many of 
them and they make you sick. 
I don't really want to read a mailing list like 
this, and there are 1600 
people who see these messages.  

Put it on a web page and put that in your 
footer..

I think we have already had a parody - can the 
lists all stop now, please.  
Discussions on why Cat Stevens is so great are 
ok.  Analyses of a few 
songs/albums (within reason) are ok. Lists of 
his songs aren't.  Sorry.

Cheers
