There are no written rules. As Basia has not done anything lately, we haven't had a lot to talk about concerning her, so anything rather related has been welcome. We've enjoyed posts on similar singers, former members of her band, singers and musicians who influenced her, etc. The only topic actually banned had to do with an allegation that Britney Spears backup dancers looked like Nazis. un abrazo, juan *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 6/8/03 at 3:38 PM dregsfan@bcpl.net wrote: >Just for future reference, who are the moderators of this list?
