Please send any replies to my personal e-mail address: mrmorton@mnet.ne.jp Do not reply to the list. It is not my intention to start a whole thread about this or to make anyone angry. I'm just looking for information. I recently learned that JS Lohr (a.k.a. Roach) posted to the Basia ML sometime during the three month period when I did not have internet access. Despite repeated attempts to reach him by phone, mail, and e-mail, I have yet to receive a response. **My question is this: Can anyone remember the approximate date that he posted or the subject of his message? I want to look for that post in the archives for reasons those of you who have been on the list for at least nine months will probably understand. However, searching through three months or so of digests would be both costly and time-consuming, so I hope to narrow my search a little. Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer. And again, please do not post replies to the ML. - -Brian* mrmorton@mnet.ne.jp ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 06:37:28 PST From: "Leslie Brown" Subject: Re: Another Male Vocalist Mystery >Hmm.

Years ago we had a long running debate on Basia's heighth. We had no objective measurement standard, so we derived from the ethers a heighth of 5'7". Don't argue.
