Yeah, me too.  And the response was just about right: not excessive or 
overwhelming, but enough to make me feel (a) noticed and (b) welcome.

Agreed.  Sometimes new names crop up and it turns out they'd been here 
for ages, but before I was, so I never heard of them.  Other times 
they're new.  You never know.  At least, I never know.

Besides, it's part of the ambience here.... something that makes soc.bi 
what it is.  How many people have felt uncomfortable?  Enough not to 
post?  We'll never know, but I suspect just as many have enjoyed the 
reactions they get.... and some people wouldn't post anyway.

Hi,

I've been following alt.lycra ever since it stopped being active... 8-),
no, seriously, I read about half the discussion last summer.
I am crossposting this to soc.bi because I know quite a few regulars in 
that group are interested in lycra clothing as well.

After looking around in Cambridge(UK) was rather disappointing (most 
shops seem to regard lycra leggings as a summer item), I decided to check 
out the places around my home, here in Munich. The results are quite 
positive:-

Starting in the pep (Neuperlach) shopping centre:
Runners Point (small sports shop):
  great variety, major sports brands and own brand, monochrome and
  nice prints, DM 50 - 100.
W\"ohrl (fashion shop): sports racks:
  some prints and black ones, DM 30 - 70.
C&A (fashion chain): sports racks: 
  apparently summer article only.
Krone (general retail chain): sports department:
  a few with feminine print motives (like flowers on pink
  background), DM 25 - 40. Sale of some monochrome ones, DM 10.
Sport Sperk:
  many monochrome and interesting prints, DM 50 - 120.

and in the centre:
Kaufhof (department store):
  sports department: major sports brands, DM 60 - 120.
  ladies' department: monochromes from DM 13, some prints DM 30.
Woolworth's: also had a sale of leggings for DM10 (I didn'even t go in,
  just stumbled across it as it was right at the entrance).
Karstadt (department store): cycling department:
  shorts and leggings sorted in padded and unpadded ones, from DM 50.

haven't tried the others, but I've seen them in Hertie as well before.

To summarise, if you have the choice between a ladies' department and
a sports department, the leggings you find in the ladies' dept are 
usually cheaper. And: shops need to put their lycra stuff somewhere, 
so they have to classify them. Expect to find them in different 
departments in different stores. Don't hesitate to approach shop 
assistants in the ladies' department even if you're male - they tend to
be helpful and you needn't admit you're buying for yourself. 8-)

Some manufacturers seem to feel they have to classify their garments as
well - gender and/or purpose. Leggings for swimming? I don't know... 8-)

I hope someone was interested in that so it wasn't a complete waste of 
bandwidth... should I have limited the distribution to 'de'?

Well, if you'd watched Andre Marrou doing the talk shows, you'd
understand that the Libs MUST have been going on principle rather than
political expediency.  _I_ would do a better job on talk shows than he

E' incredibile come a volte certuni siano in grado di leggere nel

ciclostile (anche se una volta  il ciclostile era lavoro da donna).

Riassumendo, ecco l'organigramma as of now:
Ugo Piomelli al ciclostile.
Dario Voltolini che non vuole fare un cazzo perche' e' un cane
sciolto.
Marco Isopi. Per ora genericamente lo metterei, assieme al croci,
alle letture esotiche (Telos, Micromega, ZeroNetwork etc.). Se poi 
la cosa va bene allora lo assegniamo alla scuola di formazione quadri.

il nome del gruppo, fondato da Roel van Duyn nel 1965 e disciolto 
nel 1967, era propriamente ``provo'', neologismo introdotto da
W. Buikhuisen nel medesimo anno come contrazione di ``provocatie''.

Sembra che in olandese la parola ``provokant'' non abbia necessita` di
sussistere (e comunque, se karl insistesse per una sua introduzione
nell'indigeno idioma, proporrei di scriverla con la ``c'' e non 
con la ``k'').

Di che ti scusi? La tua digressione mi ha finalmente chiarito da

Data la tua descrizione dei Katanga, non sono sicuro se il cantante

Mi duole declinare. Storicamente, il ciclostile lo gira quello che a Napoli 
viene chiamato "il tipo soggetto" ed io (forse a torto) non mi 
considero tale. Al massimo, posso scrivere i tadzebao (a mano col pennarello. 
Poi li digitalizzo con lo scanner e creo un JPEG file da postare in net).
