It's Millennium, actually :-) (And the millennium starts on Jan. 1st, 2001, not 2000, pfhhhhhbbbt!)

It's Troubadour, actually :-)

It's a "mailing list" actually :-) :-) :-) Hey, good trick! Grab 2 lines out of a many-line posting and claim that I'm turning it into a spelling correction.

Wow, 2 lines on a screen and maybe a 10th of a second reading time is that precious to you? In a posting whose main segment concerned RDJ and Autechre, which I believe is a current thread on this list? Whoa, and I thought *I* was anal-retentive ... (and hey, maybe Gonzo would be interested to know the correct spelling) Excuse me for being so fucking old that I was brought up in a time where proper spelling and grammar were valued highly as a means for enhancing communication and getting one's ideas across. (Which I could swear is central to most every mailing list.) Sheesh. ObIDM: The local Wherehouse (chain store in the Western U.S.) is dumping a lot of Art of Noise CDs for cheap, in case you're interested and have a Wherehouse near you ... (i.e. perhaps it's a store-wide thing) - Greg
