so i can't just say 'wah'?  ok

longer response.

when did you become my mother? sorry, i know that sounds nasty and
flamish. but i was wondering: how are you going to enforce this? or any of
these other requirements you have for a list that's been happy on its own
for a while?

head transplant.

wouldn't konw a byte if it bit me (down byte down!)

how you are gonna do this? i can't even get ahold of the list owner. are
you the owner of the list? will you kick us off?

you are not my mother.

i fsee it this way:

over the rhinse is music about life. as such a list, it would make sense
to me that germane and pertinent things would include life in general and
music is *part* of my life. some ofthe other bits of it include other
things, like opnionatedness that sparks once in a while.

eh.

i am an adult. i think we all are. so we would like to know you s a
person, not OTR discussion list's cop of the day.

thank you.
