With all of the bitterness and sarcasm now invading the list, I almost confused this with the Pavement list. And really, I think it's quite amusing when someone posts an off-topic post about how annoying off-topic posts are. Someone should start a meta-mailing list dedicated to people complaining about mailing lists. Here is an example of some of the messages you might see: --------------- BEGIN meta-list.v001.n001 --------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: re: mailing lists Date: Wed, 24 May 2000 13:27:12 -0500 hey d00ds, ive been on this meta-list for days now, and im sick to fucking balls of people talking about shit other than mailing lists here. if people want to talk about music or sports, they should talk about it on a mailing list specific to that particular topic, not on a mailing list created for people to bitch about mailing lists on. when i check my email i get all excited because there are 117 new messages in there, but theyre all about stuff i dont like and then i get mad or sumpin because deleting them takes valuable time away from my busy email life. and i dont like getting the digest version because i just dont so dont make me do that either because then it would be easier to delete the messages i dont like instead of posting a post about how i dont like posters that post stuff that i dont like posters posting about and stuff. --------------- END meta-list.v001.n001 --------------- You want Modest Mouse content? If someone has some server space available, I will upload some live MM mp3's to it. I'm trying to get together a site of some kind, but the going is slow. So if someone has space to donate, I'm in like Flynn. busticate, *phiL* __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
