AJ & EWF, 

    What you call pointless blather another finds informative. 
Do not discount that we have newbies here who can learn a 
great deal from the EWF who has been around longer. I've 
known you, AJ, to even learn a thing or two from someone 
else's post. The information you garner may not come under 
the title of trivia, but all trivia is information isn't it?

    Your vote is, of course, counted. I'm wondering, however, if 
we should all point out when we find the posts of others "inane"? 
Shall we all start doing that folks? I can think of so many times 
when I've found posts here, on other lists, etc., boring, pointless 
or off topic. And yet I don't feel it's my place to stop others 
from posting what they will. Obviously it's important to them 
to post, so I live & let live. If someone posts something I don't 
care to read I can use my scroll button & move on. I believe you 
have a scroll button as well. 

    This is not in complaint of your vote against Tori Trivia. I 
really could not care one way or another. It was simply a way 
of getting some discussion going here. Many have said they 
enjoyed the game in the past. I understand it's not for you.
However, many people find trivia games a great deal of fun. 
No one is right, no one is wrong. It's a matter of personal taste.
People who do enjoy it should not feel bad about what they like. 
Why not say instead - No, it's not for me.

        (-: At least people are posting now Toodles ~ MysT :-)

*What is everyone hooked on lately? I'm into Finn, Siren,
Paradiso Perduto, etc., from Great Expectations.

**It's the 27th - Grammy's - Be great if T wins :-)

 any trivia game is essentially inane.
 id rather wait for substantial talk and have a break of silence than have a 
 noise of pointless blather. >>

She may be right, but the idea is Neil Gaiman's. See "American Gods" and 
"Sandman" for examples. I thought it was briliant that Ishtar ended up being 
and exotic dancer.

Speaking of all things Gaiman and Tori, I remember a long time ago someone 
had mentioned a rumor that Tori would be scoring the film version of 
"Neverwhere." Does anyone know anything else? Is the film still even being 
made?

toodles. Off to see Indigo Girls this weekend. Wee-hee!

The Neverwhere film is indeed still in the works somewhere, although movies 
are so iffy, and it could not happen.

Neil was quoted saying something to the effect that he couldn't imagine doing 
the movie without her doing the score.  :)  I love it when my two favorite 
artists mesh.

Angelina.
