From: "Dan'l Danehy-Oakes" <ddanehy@siebel.com> Subject: (urth) Lists and Swords Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2000 09:39:51 Regarding the future of these lists -- as a recent returnee after 2+ years, I don't know that I have a right to an opinion, but if I do, I vote for a unified list. ("Ushas" is a good name, but why not simply "Wolfe" or "Lupine"?) Further, I agree: Text ads are bearable annoyances. Graphical ads would bring the list somewhere near the point of inutility for those who access email via a dialup connection. *** Weird _Terminus Est_ reference? Are there any old-timey rock'n'roll scholars on this list? And, contrariwise, does anyone know anything about Wolfe's tastes (if any) in popular music? I have this memory from my high school days (about a quarter-century ago), hearing that Jimi Hendrix had had the neck of a guitar drilled out and filled partially with mercury -- to give it a kewl vibrato when he shook it, as I recall. 1. Anyone able to confirm it? 2. Anyone got a clue as to whether GW is a Hendrix fan? -- Blattid *More Wolfe info & archive of this list at http://www.urth.net/urth/
