I took matt off all my lists yesterday you spastic. some other cunt must have posted an old list with his name on it since then. i canrt be bothered checking through all my lists every day just because some fucking sod cant be fucking well bothered to take matts name off when he asks them to.

No, if thats your reply then clearly you dont even remotely see at all. Whe matt posted a take me off message yesterday I naturally assumed everyone would take his email off thier lists. I took him off mine. This is why I didnt check today that I wasnt posting to him. Because I thought by now ppl might finally get the point and take ppl off when they get the message asking them to. Like yesterday.
OK hand on heart I cocked up this mornign when I replied to a list that turned out to have Matt on it. Maybe I should have checked it. Do you check through the list everytime you do a group reply?
I think it's easier just to take someones name off as and when they ask us to.
My message this morning was a reply to Jo. I dont know who Jo was replying to when she did hers, but that was an old list. there are at least 3 others going about. Some with Alan on and he asked to come off the list weeks ago!
Theres a lot of old lists still flying about. Its not a problem really. I do get a hell of a lot of 'take me off the list' messages directed at me, and it's not really that much of a bother. It pisses me off somewhat when I get angry messages from peopel asking ME to take them off a list I have no control over, yet I'm the one thas made to feel guilty when thier email gets fucked up.
I dont want to have to scrutinise lists everytime I post a message, and neither does anyone else. All we have to do is take someones name off when they ask us to.

Subject: DRUGS!
I posted this on uk-indie, but thought I'd copy it here. Anyone else watch that very frustrating 'debate' last night?
RANT ALERT!!!
Anyone watch that 'You Decide' debate last night? Jaysus, aren't some
people pious, conceited, self-righteous, ignorant, out-of-touch, hypocritical
bits of boring toss? There *is* NO perfect solution to the drug 'problem'
(although I have no problems with them, ta), BUT PROHIBITION IS
NOT working!!!! It's just criminalising hundreds of thousands of otherwise
law-abiding citizens and placing control of drug supply and
quality into the hands of criminals, just like the situation with alcohol in
the US in the 1930s, one of the darkest and most gratuitously violent
periods of
American history. Surely noone is so out of touch to seriously believe
that the majority of drug users in this country are pallid, emaciated
crime-happy
wasters squatting in disused flats on council estates in need of serious
rehabilitation?
I've said this before and I'll say it again, BY FAR AND AWAY the worst
drugs healthwise and socially are Alcohol and Tobacco. Both legal, both
liberally and unconscionably advertised in the media, both highly addictive
and both responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and wrecked
lives each year. However, getting drunk out of your skull is lauded
and applauded in this country. Yet simply proposing a sensible discussion
about drug use and possible alternatives to the failed prohibitive measures
is "sending out the wrong message"??????????? What the fuck?! People
are fucking INSANE!
Well, sooner or later something is going to have to be done. In the meantime,
I'll continue to exercise my PREROGATIVE as a free-thinking individual
to take into my body whatever substance i bloody well choose thank you
very much. Drugs are NOT bad or evil. Drug ABUSE is bad and evil.
We should be spending money educating and informing people about
sensible drug use and combatting this instead of hopelessly
attempting to stamp out the demand for drugs which has existed
since time immemorial and will continue to do so. Some bloke made
the point last night that prohibition is an American thing (my, my, my
don't all the best things come from America?) which was introduced
in this country in the 1920s. Before then in Victorian times, drug use
was prevalent and acceptable (Queen Victoria took cannabis for her period
pains for
fuck's sake!) The vast majority of fellow recreational drug users I know
are educated, responsible users with social consciences. Society and
interferring
do-gooders can go fuck themselves as far as I am concerned.
And then if that wasn't enough I turn over to
Channel 4's nightwatch to see Mr Threechinnedmoralfascist from the Daily
Express
blubbering on and pontificating about "moral decline" and "reestabslishing
the moral backbone of this country." Oh yes mate, of course the Daily Express
is contributing most effectively to this isn't it?! Any more pictures or four
page spreads featuring Di in the buff? I wouldn't even wrap my chips
in your rag, mate. Most unbelievable statement (and he ACTUALLY said this
in response to the question of whether he thought drug abuse compared to
alcohol abuse!) "Yes but people don't drink to get smashed" (!?) Yes, I
laughed as well.
PHEW! IT'S GONE NOW.....RANT OVER!
Sorry, but I got very pissed off at people's idiocy and short-sightedness last night. Being able to think for yourself is such an important thing. Dogma is *evil*.
Um, right yes, well! Congrats to Mark and Neil for their mentions in
the MM, which incidentally has one of those heinous spice girls (um
i think it's which-one-is-she spice. Or is it
getting-podgy-old-slapper-spice?
Pauly, you've got their pictures all over your wall. Help us out...) on
the cover this week. Doing that badly, eh?
Cool, I thought it was over as far as album releases for the rest of
the year go, but we still have PORTISHEAD, MASSIVE ATTACK and

which is why we should all delete someones name when we are asked to rather than a day or two later. then we wont get any accidental extra postings to the person who wanted to be taken off. agreed?
You cannot say "well, I removed his name from >MY list, so it's not MY fault", because there is no "MY" list, or >anybody's list. NOBODY owns a list.

I liked it because no matter how you try not to, you always take a step back slightly when a train comes in. Now with a platform only 12 feet wide nd another dirty big train thundering in from behind it was nice and scary.
Camden Town Tube I was in once (does it still smell of fried onions?) and I was on mushrooms. The platform became 2 feet wide and about a mile long and I could see the electricity running down the tracks.
Funny how camden town tube always smells of fried onions. I remember it before it got flourescent light. Those filament lamps were pretty innefective. It really felt like you were going into the bowels of the earth on the escalator.
Anyone else remember those nice red trains which were all varnished wood inside? Made in Derby I think, the last ones ran on the Bakerloo line till about 1984. I'm not being trainspotty - it's Green Transport. Honest. Nah. I admit it. I like trains. trains are cuddly.

The 'Work is a four letter word' ep got reviewed today in the Melody Maker in the 'Suited and Booted' section of Maker Breakers for very small labels/bands written by dear Everett True (see Luce, when I pointed to the strange man at Belle and Sebastian and said 'I sent that man the record').
It said (for the benefit of Gary):
'Find of the week is the 'Work is a Four Letter Word'EP on Fortuna Pop!. Leicester quartet John Sims are like a girl-fronted Arab Strap. Cee Bee Beaumont off-shoot Go-Kart 800 play cool Billy Childish-style distorto shouty garage music. Mark Hibbett sings sweetly of the joys of working 9-5, while the Family Way's Sweet Little Nothings is a Sonny and Cher for the generation for the generation who never learned to sing. {-er, that's you Delia!}. Poptastic to the max.'
Cool!
So, when's the gig Delia?

Exactly - my posting to Angst (which I'll leave on there as a precis will do) was saying how keeping it illegal disallows control over theh drug market which could make it physically safer for all concerned if it was legalised. After all an awful lot of violence is caused by people inthe drug market, much of which sadly involves innocent people. People who never even look at drugs can still wind up being caught in the cross fire. If money was freed up by legalising such drugs as cannabis then maybe we could use the extra resources to help people get off drugs like crack and go after the dealers and the mobs which push hard drugs.
OK soft drugs might lead onto hard drugs. Cannabis is widely regarded to be a 'softer' drug than alchohol is it not? Most of the ppl anti legalisation on TV last night seemed just a tad puritanical.
Maybe that's one reason why society is anti cannabis? Puritanism. because you don't get the hangover and the guilt the next day. Theres no retribution and in what is a basically christian society the underlying thought is that if a drug involves no immediate penalty, then all hell will break loose if it becomes legal.
Perhaps one thing those middle class oiks on the TV forgot is that most people that smoke pot have nothing like the spending power that they do and would consequently have an awfully hard job smoking enough pot to cause any real problems? Or perhaps not.
Being able to think for yourself is such an important thing.

100% sense!

Tell me about it! Did you see that AWFUL, PALE, SANCTIMONIOUS, ALTAR-HUGGING, JESUS IS THE ONLY MAN FOR ME BINT who quoted from St Paul (something about maintaining strength of character??) and then passionately proclaimed that she was ashamed of her drug-taking friends? She scared me, she really did. Most people who are vehemently anti-drugs are ignorant hypocrites anyway. My ex-girlfriend used to chide me for smoking the good herb because she was worried about it affecting my health. Incidentally, since I took up smoking pretty much habitually 2 years ago I've hardly been ill at all and most colds are chased off in a couple of days. There is some research in fact to suggest that cannabis actually ENHANCES your immune system. Anyway, my ex-girly smiked 20+ fags a day, which tell you on the packet that they KILL you. She wouldn't have it though that she was being a bit of a patronising, hypocritical OLD SLAPPER!!!! (sorry, just venting spleen)

Interesting point Neil. Indeed, there is NO HANGOVER with cannabis. Sometimes just a slightly wooly headed feeling, that's all, but at the weekends I love to wake up, open my eyes and then think "JOINT!!!!!", skin up, lay in bed, listen to some choons............ahhhhhhhhh, now *that's* lufferly.
>Perhaps one thing those middle class oiks on the TV forgot is that most >people that smoke pot have nothing like the spending power that they do >and would consequently have an awfully hard job smoking enough pot to >cause any real problems? Or perhaps not.
Well, presumably, if legalised, price would come down to about 50quid
an ounce (from about 90 round my way at the mo). Now, I smoke
about an ounce a month, so it would be considerably cheaper for me,
and yes, maybe I would smoke more, but then I've never considered
it a problem. Winging "ooooooooo I can't do anything once I've had
a smoke" is pretty crap and pathetic if you ask me. Of course you fucking
can!
There's nothing better IMO than partaking of a spliff and then going out
and DOING SOMETHING! It should be used to enhance, not procrastinate.
