No problem on my end.
I wrote that I included the info, in an effort to get others to do the same.
Keep the info flowing with the discs.
Now that I know exactly what to do, I think that I will pull something nice out
of my collection and start another vine.
This was one of the more difficult vines that I have done. But hey, it is for
Frank Zappa, so we all adapt and do our best.
Thanks for the insights, simple rules make life simple.
Peace,
Craig

I didn't intend to lay blame solely on your shoulders, Craig. This vine got
convoluted early, before you hooked up, and got even worse with time - it was a
group effort...
Our little system is not the most efficient or effective, but it works when
the rules are followed. At issue is tracking the vine - for active participants
and would-be, or future, participants. In order to use the 'Search' feature at
the main page to track a vine, there needs to be continuity in the process, or
the thread gets waylaid.
The most important thing is the subject line; a Vine's Subject should always
begin with VO, followed by the title of the collection. Other info, like DVD
or CD or FLAC, can appear in the subject line - at the end - as long as the
Subject starts out properly. And that subject line needs to perpetuate
unchanged; even a little difference like 12-26-75 vs. 12/26/75 will throw off
the Vine's tractability. It's a tomato / tomahto thing: essentially
meaningless to we mortals, it means a lot to the machine we use to convey our
message...
So do not feel it was your bad, Bro. In all likelihood, I could have caught
the subtle change at the time, and corrected it - as I've done on numerous
occasions, but (since I rarely participate in these things) moderating the
daily activities of a group as large as ours is rather time consuming.
Regards,
SOFA

I included that text with the vine.
I apologize for any trouble.
Peace,

I finally took some time to track this one down - to the best of my
ability... There are rules involved in vining here and if everyone followed
them, this would not happen (or, at least, tracking the vine would be much
easier). This is the best order that I found (if this order is not correct, the
vine participants have only themselves to blame):
Craig in California bigsassydog@ ... Rand in Texas plotch12@ .
Joe Boden (New Zealand)joseph.boden@ otago.ac. nz Robert S (US)
n2spcmusc@ Bart (Pol) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Rand, when you're ready to pass this on to Joe in New Zealand, please
respond to this message, leaving the Subject Line intact, and remove Craig's
and your name from the front.
Thank You.
