assistant: Good morning Ms. Stewy,
    Tom Schulz.  He is, for all intents and purposes, Boston.  :)
    Why would I do that?  <evil grin>
    Me too! <VBG>
    Why would that be depressing to you?  I thought you said you love
his music?
    For the most part.  Roots_Music is run by Nancy and Jeff and they're
not meanies like I am.  <grin>
    See below!
    I don't like to put that much effort into it.  How can I behave when
I'm listening to Sleater-Kinney?
    The inner child in me has body art, lots of piercings, with spiked
and colored hair.  <grin>
    They're behind stacks of CDs again.  I guess it is time to dig out
the vinyl...
    I'm a fossil.  I listened to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Pink
Floyd when they were new on the music scene.  <grin>
    This is a good thing.  <VBG>
    Nope, it doesn't like me.  Two things come to mind right away.  Try
addressing the mail to 1:129/41, leaving off the point (".1")...  The
other thought is Perry might not be running a full nodelist so it
doesn't see 1:129/41 as a valid address.
