(BTW, i just looked up the start date for "twin peaks" and it was 8 april 1990. you can argue all you want, and you may even be right, but regardless, i'll always consider "twin peaks" part of the 80s.) > I reserve the right to augment this list at any time. naturally. lists change. that's why it's a bad idea to laminate them. xo - -- "people with opinions just go around bothering one another." -- the buddha ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V18 #28 *******************************
