Of course you asked to be in CK's list! You asked to be in the AJ list
so we must presume that you want to receive every single mail that's
sent to the list. Don't forget one important thing: with a little post
here and a bigger post there you can add them and get a lot of precious
information on the music we all love. Isn't that the reason why we're
all here?

I'm sorry to say but that's stupid of you. You're missing a great record
label. Ny only sorry is that I only own a copy of Mushroom Jazz. BTW,
Chris, what other OM releases should I check out? BTW, Chris, please
write something in the subject line. When I receive your posts I'm
always afraid it's an anonymous one! :-)

>This is not a forum for your press releases or music hype.

Come again?! I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you but the music
business runs on Press Releases!

That's really rude! Nasty boy!

Don't pay attention Chris. Just keep on sending your posts with OM press
releases!

> <suggestions>

I'll abreviate your suggestions with a simple one: if you don't like the
AJ list why don't you unsubscribe it? Have you ever been in another
mailing list? I must say that I did but I've unsubscribed them all. I
got about 120 posts a day with mail bomb threats and other crap. From
time to time there was a music related post but never meetting the lists
interest. I didn't like it so I got out of there! I think that what
civalized people do?!

>I doubt I'm alone on this but others have to speak up.

If I know the other guys I bet you are alone on this one!

Well, that's too much atention to pay on a post that the only thing he
deserved was a big hit in the del key. That's what I'll do. Them I'll
start listening to some records to put up Horas Funktasticas' next
playlist so I can bug you all with it!

See ya,
