I could set the digest to wait till we have x number of KB of message text, then a digest will be sent, instead of its current setting (a digest every day there's at least one submission). However, if I do this and the list remains at its current level of inactivity, it could be literally weeks between digests. I'd like to hear from you digest subscribers as to which format you'd prefer. later, Miles - --- /====================================================================\ | Miles Goosens outdoorminer@mindspring.com | | http://www.rsteviemoore.com outdoorminer@zdnetmail.com | | http://www.mindspring.com/~outdoorminer | | | | "Why everything has to get in the way all the time I don't know." | | -- Janet Ingraham Dwyer | \====================================================================/ On Tue, 1 Dec 1998 15:48:19 Wilson, Paul wrote: > >Hello.

Thankfully, the combination of Maynard & Conway's visual technique and Wire's art school backgrounds ensured their videos were something more than the usual 'stand in front of the camera and sing' variety. And even when they were (So and Slow it Grows) the use of effects and imagery ensured the results were always interesting. 'Kidney Bingos' has the most stars I've ever seen in a music video and 'Ahead' is a wonderfully brooding claustrophobic piece. And then there's 'B'. God knows what Colin & the gang were on when this video was conceived but it is like some kind of real life cartoon. Does anyone know who was responsible for this video (ie: concept / direction)? Big smilies and such-like to anyone who can tell me ...
