Dear Matt, Well, I thought that helping other fans to get rare stuffs, talking about the music and how The Orb changed our life (yes, I think that music can change it, sometimes), be positive was the point of this mailing list. That's alright, I'll leave this mailing list now, happy to have met some members (u know who u r). I have subscribed to this list since 1995. Now is the time for a change. Bye now, Jc See you Miles, Rachel, Chris, Don, Joe, Robert, etc... Take care

I don't know when this list became a left-wing political forum. However, I've kept quiet for months now, deleting all the Bush-bashing, the name-calling, the flame wars..... I understand that there isn't much Orb-related NEW news to discuss these days, but I don't understand why we have to fill mailboxes with banal political banter that only Radio Free Speech would enjoy. Before you all have a chance to flame me, I'll go back to my right-wing, cock-sucking log cabin hole, and continue masturbating my computers' delete keys! =D (Personally, I'm entertained by a lot of this stuff. I just am commenting!) -Brian

As an NYC-resident the answer to that is yes, pending bloomy giving us a permit to do so (internationalANSWER has still been unsuccessful, AFAIK, in getting one) > > anybody going to be hitting the streets this Saturday (the 15th)? _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

TOPIC CHANGE TIME, was: Re: [Orb] (no subject)

I've been keeping quiet throughout all of this, using the <ahem> DELETE button and just skipping over the flame war bits. But I felt it was time to chime in. :) >Gotta say I'd rather read one of Thrash's posts than 200 posts about items >for sale on Ebay, which version of a remix is longer or what they talked to >Andy Hughes about backstage for 20 seconds....I mean who gives a fuck? You just ruled out just about every topic ever discussed on here (well not really but sorta). If I were to take your argument to the extreme, why discuss anything at all unless it effects your personal daily life. Or anything at all for that matter. I am tempted to call your attention to the ability to do two things: 1) Delete messages. People on this list dont tend to change the topic often so if you see a thread which is a flame war, delete those messages 2) The unsubscribe function. If NONE of the topics in this list interest you, you are free to unsubscribe. It is after all a free country (at least where I am). > >But, everyone's entitled to post more or less what they wants and I ain't >bitching cos like I said a chuckle or two more than makes up for the energy >it takes to spank the delete key. MMMmmmmmMmmmm, spankin the delete key. I like that... > >Like anyone is actually gonna fly to another continent to [attempt to] kick >someone's ass? get a grip...yeah ok if it's carefully planned with a spot >of >record shopping or a touch of catalogue numbers spotting....maybe..... I love bringing up that topic. Who the hell threatens someone with physical violence over a digital medium? I mean maybe it makes sense if you know one another in real life, but otherwise come on! Not only do you sound like an idiot, but its all just so much posturing anyways ;) > >_______________________________________________ >Orb mailing list >Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Damn, where did all the peaceniks go? When a handful of people on a mailing list about *music* can't get along without threats, then there's almost no hope of a peaceful resolution in Iraq.

Then we sell the tapes, and it's like bumfights! http://www.bumfights.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Mike VandeVelde [mailto:mikev@uniserve.com] Sent: Wed 2/12/2003 2:04 AM To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com Cc: Subject: [Orb] what's wrong with a little emotion? a bitter british wasa/wannabeagain star gets a testosterone-hero mailing-list-superpower's shackles up so far he decides to step forward for freedom, justice, and everything that's holy and smite this alien foreigner for daring to produce words of mass anoyance. so line up everyone, you're either with the colonel or against him. but wait, thrasher commits himself to fighting to death and woe be to anyone who actually gets it really on with him. oh my god, look at their feathers spread, look at their chests bulge out. ok ok lets settle this like civilized people. i suggest a duel to the death - whatever place over the pond sounds about right. someone film this shit for the rest of us poor bastards without 2 air miles to rub together. post it up on whatever brand spanking new file distribution system everyone is drooling about lately. let the rest of us spank our enemies vicariously through you. anyone wanna start up a pool? i'll put my money on the colonel ends up the living one, but minus an eyeball and with one testicle a little oblong, a little more twitching and a little less mathmatical skill (i'm willing to change that if given some more graphic description of what so-and-so would do to so-and-so). let's approach some media biz idioterati, maybe exclusive broadcast rights could be traded for compensation for all the cokehead thievery apparently going on. times that by how many region codes are there? video rental sales! merchandising! it could be the answer to capatilism's worldwide decay! right on, let it rip kids. don't let the pacifists hold you back from your manifest destiny. they're irrelevant anyway ;-) _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb

trashing Thrash a little

Ok, I can't let this one pass: "Im 30 now!" C'mon! That means you would have been 14 in 1987. In which case your parents got all "your" money and have been waiting for you to grow up so they could give it to you... If you're 30 then I still have a full head of hair... *sigh* www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.
