I wasn't even thinking of the editing of shows -- just the paranoid assumption that if it isn't all there, someone is holding something back. In 30 years of Deadheaddom and 28 years of collecting tapes (tho never as fanatically as many others), I have only run into one or two people lame enough to adulterate tapes before passing them along, etc. It's one thing to want to hear it all, and another to take it so seriously that you will engage in character assassination, etc. in pursuit of it. -- David Gans [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.trufun.com/perfectible Truth and Fun, Inc., PMB 102, 484 Lake Park Ave, Oakland CA 94610
