Just out of curiousity, why do some people have to include what they are playing at the end of the message? Is it some sort of cyber-equivalent to those homeboys blasting shit out of their cars forcing making known what heir listening to? Who gives a rat's as what your playing? :) Sorry for the upset NP: Some esoteric noise track.....(I'm cool!!!) A.

Just out of curiousity, why do some people have to include what college they are studying at, at the end of their signature, EVERY time? Is it revealing some sort of identity crisis, "If I am not at Vassar college, therefore, I do not exist"? Tis like if I signed off everytime with: Aless, School of Oriental & African Studies, University of London Who gives a rat's arse ....? "Ce sont les tonneaux vides qui font le plus de bruit"

Oh, I can live with reading what people are playing. In fact it's sometimes even interesting. What's really annoying is when people's messages just comprise of a load of HTML junk (or at least they do in my Email reader). There's no way I'm picking through all of that just to read their comments, however bowel-shatteringly brilliant they may be. Cheers, Aca np: JONES - "Love is such a treasured thing" (RePHLeX) ;)

or are you getting some weird shite if/when someone does this: http://www.hyperreal.org np: Farley/Heller shite... (you know you care! - cause I do!)

Certain mail readers (i.e. netscape) have the option of sending mail as text and HTML, and it ends up looking like complete garbage so nobody wants to read it. it doesn't happen too often though. On Fri, 7 November 1997, at 15:08:08, David Larson wrote:
