Mate -
Face it, when did you last cry with either laughter or gut ripping emotion after reading a post?
OK, so most of the letters to the list will never illicit this kind of response. But a few, from a select few people, really do. And you were one of those people. For me the list isn't just about the posts that touch obvious emotions like those you mentioned, it's about the way that listees seem to craft their mails. A lot of the time it's like reading well-worded fiction - people on this list seem to be incredibly literate and really take some pride in exactly how they piece together their writing. And most of the time I just sit here in amazement aspiring to put prose quite as eloquently as a large percentage of regular posters do. Yes, I joined the list because I melt when I hear Belle and Sebastian. But a lot of the reason I've stayed about is because of the number of emails I get every day, week-in, week-out, that are simply great to read. I don't know you, I've never met you, but my inbox will miss you like hell. I've cc'd the list on this, because I feel that others will feel the same. I really hope you don't mind. p. -- ---------------------------*||*------------------------------ Life is full of regrets, and I've had a few, as Frank Sinatra once sang, before hiccuping loudly and falling over sideways.
