And congratulations to everyone involved with Imago Dei. Dave and I went there a few minutes ago & I have to say, IT'S BRILLIANT!!!! We have a huge mental list of everyone we're going to send valentines to, using which images and which music...we promise to get their feedback too. Thomas, your work is so beautiful. I want to go back again for my own listening pleasure. And - I'm happy to say I'm no longer an outcast, we have the Beatnik plug-in :) ecstatically yours, Robin ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Feb 1998 10:46:00 EST From: Jdmack01@aol.com Subject: Alloy: Re: alloy-digest V3 #28 In a message dated 98-02-01 01:34:00 EST, Stephen Tilson wrote: << To answer your question, the only line sung in "The Wreck of the Fairchil= d" = is: "Some fruit are sweet = And some are poison." >> First, THANK YOU STEPHEN!!! That's it exactly. Now that I've heard it, I don't know how I couldn't have figured it out on my own. Second, does anyone know why all the messages in the Alloy digest have the weird spacing and equal signs, similar to the quote above?

Tell me, I suspect you have the = 7" version of this song, correct? It would be the B-side of = Airwaves. A rare one, that. So, if you are familiar with The Wreck of the Fairchild, you may = understand why the more heretical among us sometimes call this song, = "The Man Who Would Be Sting." And after last night, I'm feeling more = heretical by the minute . . . Didn't see you there (The Tap Room), = by the way. Regarding the discombobulated text: I believe this has something = to do with the way the Alloy Digest handles messages, or possibly = it's on your end with the AOL mail-server misinterpreting the = incoming message as having some encoded information other than ASCII = text. The root of the problem is line length, and the easiest = workaround is to send messages with shorter lines. As an experiment = I am sending this message with lines no longer than 71 characters. = Tell me if it came through ok. I used to have the same problem here, but ultimately solved it by = subscribing to Alloy "live."
