I've mailed THIS message to all those on the recipient list that the previous message was mailed to, if you see what I mean, AND Alloy in case anyone was missed out AND Thomas at Headspace. So, now we KNOW he'll be aware that something is amiss in the FES (see messages below) and will perhaps be kind enough to either ask Netrex to sort it out OR let us know if this IS part of the FES upgrade.

Definitely a big part of the appeal. Yep - that's what apparently sold my friend (from second grade) Mary on the album - saw the cover and had to have it. Once she heard the first track, she was hooked and raved to me (who was too buried in theater to listen to the radio at that point) about it. Then, on her old scratchy turntable, she made me a copy - I still have the tape - the brilliant TMDR on one side, and the angelic renaissance church music of Michael Praetorius on the other. Strange combination? Maybe, but I love it and that tape has traveled the world in a parade of progressively smaller, yet more gadgetized Walkmans (and may well go to Ooooozebekistan with me next month...) >> And the right fedora (shading a devilish face) above the collar of a >> well-cut trenchcoat makes virtually any man irresistable, truly. :-) > >You said it, Melissa!

Ah, yes, I remember that one. I think I had it, too, until the certifiably insane cleaning lady my mother had while I lived in Russia went berzerk and dumped bags of dog food into the area where all my stuff was stowed (for real.) Many souvenirs got munched on by Purina-crazed squirrels and mice... - - Melissa (glad the squirrels were gone by the time I got back, but there's still some stray kibble in mom's attic...)

But what if the clod is wearing a button down collar, rather than a tab collar? If we let our fellow man go around wearing things just any old way he likes, then the next thing you know, kids will be running around with their dungarees hanging halfway down their... oh well, I guess it's too late. :) ****** Charles E.

This may happen within one or two weeks. However, when we have moved to a new provider there is no certainty that we will be able to set up the Tap Room again since we do not own the Tap Room cgi scripts (property of Netrex). We will look into equivalent Web newsgroup cgi scripts and may setup a new Tap Room. We will definitely be able to setup a Flatearth mailing list as part of our new Web account. Please be patient through this transition. We apologize for the nasty inconvenience. Thanks to all. - -- Regards, Chris (a.k.a.
