Sorry-- didn't mean to sound so snotty there.
It's not so much offence-- but you have to expect that every so often,
people who like the Aeros have other interests in other bands, and that
there will be discussion about those other bands.
The amount and conent is pretty mild, as it only happens about once every
six months or so. You should see the amount of off-topic posting on the
Robyn Hitchcock list. It seems to happen hourly. But everyone on that
list
digs it, because they've all agreed to it. They're also very polite about
things like quoted text and flames.
For my money, it's healthy that there's a little bit of non-Aeros related
traffic. But that's sort of what I'm used to. Not everyone cares.
Other lists have a seperate e-mail list, usually called "Announce", which
is
read-only (it doesn't accept replies), and the content is strictly
announcements regarding the band. Announcements usually take the form of
record releases, gigs, and press releases.
Perhaps we could have something like that on this list. Not everyone digs
getting piles of five-line e-mails (with 2K of quoted text), in their
mailbox.
Just a thought. Nora?

Sorry if I caused offence :-(
