I wouldn't go so far as to say it should be banned - but by pressing "reply" rather than "reply all" the messages can be kept between interested parties and not sent to the whole group. Also, if the sender can put OT in the subject header it can be filtered off so people who aren't interested don't need to read it. - -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Visit my website: http://www.janea.me.uk or http://www.janea.me.uk/Delpage.html MSN Messenger: janea57@hotmail.com Get this cool tool - I use it and it's brilliant...

We were the better side on the day and had the better chances but fair play you got the goal so deserved the result. I knew the loss of Langley was crucial for us and so it proved. The good news for us is that we've already sold more season tickets than last year (which was in itself a record) plus with the playoff money we'll be able to further strengthen our squad. We had the best home attendances in the division last season and I imagine that won't change next season. Good luck in Div One!

And I'd like to remind the lads (if they have a chance to see this) that many of their fans have already buggered off, tired of waiting for even a sliver of news. I'm a diehard, but I'm getting a little impatient as well. We don't need to know EVERY little thing that's happening, but an occasional update (monthly?) would be nice. Mere sightings of band members are even a rarity. Fer cryin' out loud, DO SOMETHING!!! Play an unannounced gig to test out new material, put a demo up on the websites for us to hear, or a picture from the studio ("See, we ARE working..."). Save us from non-musical and non-Del topics!!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 10:40:32 -0700 (PDT) From: debbsc67 Subject: Re: OV: Commiserations to the QPR boys Thanks Andrew!

I was going to say that the idea of including "OT" in the subject (at the very least) would work, although her "reply" instead of "reply all" would be better. I don't need to see some guys duking it out verbally over some silly football game, but let them clog each other's inbox all they like.

Would you like to see these artists at the Ramshead ?? Please hit 'reply' & vote for your favorites !! ** Josh Ritter ** Poppa Chubby ** Thievery Corporation ** Rick Braun ($40ish) ** Rodney Crowell ** The Gibson Brothers ** Jill Sobule, Glenn Tillbrook & Angie Aparo--- in a cool triple-bill !! ** Eliza Gilkyson ** Bio Ritmo ** Steve Oliver (jazz guitar & vocals) ** Del Amitri ** David Mallet ** Legends of Rock n Roll 3 leading impersonators ! Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley & Buddy Holly ** Beppe Gambetta i should also mention that i came across my copy of twisted recently and was listening to it at work the last few days and i'm still not a fan of "food for songs" but i love "start with me" and i think that song should have been used to kick off the cd with a proper punch. (waking hours is still their best album though. i could listen to it over and over again for the rest of my life) peace out everybody! lend some light on this tour thing if you know anything. tom ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 21:57:20 EDT From: Fredhic1@aol.com Subject: OV: ramshead email my goof. i left the email address out of the email i was writing. the Ramshead Inn email address to respond to if interested in attending a show in maryland is Ramshead33@aol.com tom ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 21:05:55 -0500 From: Alison Bellach Subject: Re: OV: del amitri tour?

I vaguely recall hearing several years ago that it takes about #60,000 to rehearse and put on a basic show, even without all the special stage and lighting effects, if they're not in the middle of a tour. Also, if the rumours on the UK forum are true, they are looking for a new drummer. I somehow think the chances of them playing your venue are very remote - but one can always dream.....
