Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] ?!??!?!?!?! --> ON TOPIC RIGHT NOW

From: Ferrie Tuin <zpidermen@...>
Date: 2001-09-23

Oke let's make one thing clear... I'm also a member of
a few other yahoogroups and nobody in those groups has
ever said something about what happened in amerika (it
doesn't mean that we are not interested in what
happened there of course). So please stop talking
about this RIGHT NOW and please stick to the an1x. If
you like to talk about amerika you can do that
privately

greetz Ferrie, and please do NOT respond to this
message. And if you want to respond, do this privately
to me, thanks
