Makes me wonder, considering we're living the age of advanced computer
technology, why there is no killfile at the acid-jazz server that would
kill all messages with the magic word in them. That would _totally_
eliminate the clueless subbers/unsubbers problem and everybody who wanted
to use the word in their messages for other reasons, could simply write
'uns*bscribe' or 's!bscribe' instead..

I don't know how these list servers function, but i think some other lists
i've been on have this feature. I remember that ucsd staff are quite busy
as it is, but this enhancement would be just great, wouldn't it?

For now, I'll just put the word in my personal killfile, though
that only eliminates msgs with the word on subject:line, and might
- just might - make me miss an important out-of-list message.. :(

Anyway, back to the scheduled acid-jazz chat..

ObAJ: what's the word on Ballistic Brothers? i heard a snippet while being
heavily under absolut vodka influence - did it have anything to do with ska?
only song by them that i have myself (marden hill remixed, on give em nuff
dope 1) is different, pleasurable jazzy jam affair (listening to it right
now)
