That absurd analogy is a perfect demonstration of just how pathetic 
and petty your behaviour on this list is becoming Zerxes. Exactly how 
advertising the availability of JPJ's prog doodlings on the list 
through a third party rates a comparison with the ethical and legal 
validity of slavery and segregation is completely beyond me. It's 
laughable frankly. Bruce's behaviour is not infringing the charter
in any sensible interpretation of it's wording. If you must continue
on this pathetic crusade, how about taking it to private email and
sparing the rest of the list a glimpse at your rather thinly veiled
agenda?

Patronising bastard.

On a more Zeppelin-related note...

Any word on an Australian release for "Zooma"? It's looking like 
we'll be perusing the import racks at this stage, a domestic release 
is probably a bit much to hope for. I think we'd accept some gigs 
down here as a substitute though. ;-)

See ya,

Steve.
