The Gorka list is not that fluffy a list but we have been talking a bit lately. So, for all of you who may need these instructions at a future date, hang on to them. For those of you who are trying like hell to leave now, here are the instructions to remove yourself from this list: Probably the simplest is to order the unsubscription kit described below: First, ask your Internet Provider to mail you an Unsubscribing Kit. Then follow these directions. The kit will most likely be the standard no-fault type. Depending on requirements, System A and/or System B can be used. When operating System A, depress lever and a plastic dalkron unsubscriber will be dispensed through the slot immediately underneath. When you have fastened the adhesive lip, attach connection marked by the large "X" outlet hose. Twist the silver- coloured ring one inch below the connection point until you feel it lock. The kit is now ready for use. The Cin-Eliminator is activated by the small switch on the lip. When securing, twist the ring back to its initial condition, so that the two orange lines meet. Disconnect. Place the dalkron unsubscriber in the vacuum receptacle to the rear. Activate by pressing the blue button. The controls for System B are located on the opposite side. The red release switch places the Cin-Eliminator into position; it can be adjusted manually up or down by pressing the blue manual release button. The opening is self- adjusting. To secure after use, press the green button, which simultaneously activates the evaporator and returns the Cin-Eliminator to its storage position. You may log off if the green exit light is on over the evaporator . If the red light is illuminated, one of the Cin-Eliminator requirements has not been properly implemented. Press the "List Guy" call button on the right of the evaporator . He will secure all facilities from his control panel. To use the Auto-Unsub, first undress and place all your clothes in the clothes rack. Put on the velcro slippers located in the cabinet immediately below. Enter the shower, taking the entire kit with you. On the control panel to your upper right upon entering you will see a "Shower seal" button. Press to activate. A green light will then be illuminated immediately below. On the intensity knob, select the desired setting. Now depress the Auto-Unsub activation lever. Bathe normally. The Auto-Unsub will automatically go off after three minutes unless you activate the "Manual off" override switch by flipping it up. When you are ready to leave, press the blue "Shower seal" release button. The door will open and you may leave. Please remove the velcro slippers and place them in their container. If you prefer the ultrasonic log-off mode, press the indicated blue button. When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A & B. The knob to the left, just below the blue light, has three settings, low, medium or high. For normal use, the medium setting is suggested. After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by switching to the "ON" position the clearly marked red switch. If during the unsubscribing operation, you wish to change the settings, place the "manual off" override switch in the "OFF" position. You may now make the change and repeat the cycle. When the green exit light goes on, you may log off and have lunch. Please close the door behind you. Thanks Dennis.

I believe they made a > deal to remain open by paying royalties to record companies, didn't they? > The only company Napster has made a "deal" with is BMG, and it only covers select artists and content for which Napster will act as a "sales agent." Under the arrangement, which has yet to be implemented, Napster will allow you to download certain selections for a fee, and then they will collect a commission or royalty from BMG. This DOES NOT apply to BMG's entire music catalog, nor has BMG sanctioned the free and uncontrolled distribution of copyrighted materials through Napster's servers. And every other major music publishing company is continuing their efforts to shut Napster down. I love the idea of sharing music, but Napster poses a huge issue for independent artists like JG. Many people characterize the big-time performers and groups (Metallica, Madonna, Britney Spears, etc) as being greedy or already having "enough" money. But what about folks like John, who doesn't have a slew of top-10 singles or double-platinum albums filling his bank account? Or those "one-hit-wonders" like the Baha Men, who will soon fade into oblivion after "Who Let The Dogs Out" is played one time too many? How are they expected to hit their big payday -- or even make an honest day's living -- when their work is made available for flawless duplication, and they don't receive a cent? Imagine you're a struggling writer, and you've spent five years of your precious little "free time" writing your first novel, and another three years trying unsuccesfully to get it published. Finally, some company takes a chance on you, and your contract calls for minimal royalties -- that is, you won't see that huge payday unless you crack the New York Times' Best Sellers list. Slowly but surely, sales start to pick up and the royalties, while not mind-blowing, are at least helping to pay the bills. Then you find out that your novel -- the whole thing -- has been put on somebody's "book sharing" site. Now ANYONE can download it -- word for word, in its entirety -- for free! Now be honest here -- how would you really feel? This is what Napster does to small artists, who far outnumber the big-time acts. So none of us should be happy to see that John's works are appearing there. And every one of us who love artists like John should have a HUGE problem with Napster...
