Well, I'll disregard that line about you and some boy (any other NAMBLA 
members on the list) but I'll pretty much agree with ya here.  I've been 
getting mighty sick of all the morons who'll post "please don't flame me" 
or "I'll stop here so as to avoid being flamed" comments.

What I do object to, and what, Doug Ciceri excepted, this list has been 
free recently, are _bad_ flames.  Ones that just ain't funny.

Hope this clears things up...

Obligatory Who content:
I just got some tapes of JAE's '88 concerts (thanks, JN) and I can't 
quite make out the names of the band he's playing with.  Anyone know?
