Subject: I'm outta here

From: Tom Eales <ealspin@...>
Date: 2001-09-24

YEP, just wanted to say that I am unsubscribing from this group, not because it isn't useful, but because there are a few people who seem to see the group as an opportunity to talk bollocks about shit that is completely irrelevant to the subject AN1X,
I only check my e-mail every day or two, and if I have 25 unread AN1X messages, half of which are crap jokes from P... (you should know who you are) , then I think I'd rather just leave it. My account is not big enough to handle that much irrelevant stuff, I'll check back, maybe one day people will start talking about relevant stuff again.
Cheers Guys, some of the sounds from the downloads page were wicked
See ya,
Tom

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
