renaming request & mollusks

Are you serious, Jacky?

Well yahoo has made it real easy. Someone did write me
about his own experience trying out a group name change
and there was some tricky thing about unexpected side
effects but I think it does work.

I don't know though, we would have to go and look and
make sure that the new name isn't already taken... it
could be, you know.

The thing is though I've been reading posts in some of
the other groups that show that people are really fond
of the name 'crazy music' now.

Actually I will go ahead and change it if the other
list changes its name to 'The old Alternative Wanking
List". You know, to make sure there's no confusion.

BTW, what's wanking? Is it like walking? Or wanting?

Huh! Well get back here young man. We are not done with
Mollusks yet. I have much more to say. Their mating
behavior is the key to understanding music perception
and I will prove it!! I've just been busy with the
ezine article and such lately but I DO plan to return
to this extremely important and relevant subject!

I really liked your limerick on mollusk eating. Have
you ever tried sea cucumbers? Real chewy and they don't
taste like much. Some of the nudibranches are
poisonous, BTW, so you need to be careful.

Well I can only speak for myself. My music posts come
when they come and that's all I'll say about it.

These are really the only two methods I have found that
work.

Don't know but that is really the only litmus test
worth considering. Defenestate the rest.

...

Hm, that's a long post. I'll have to get back to it
later...
