Yes, desperately looking for a JMDL digest-er with a kind heart and a bit of
time. I'll explain in a minute, but first of all I should probably
introduce myself again.
I am an big Joni Mitchell fan based in London. I bought my first Joni album
as a schoolgirl when I still lived in Belgium in 1970, but I really
re-discovered her music in much more depth in the last year and am now
spreading the word (ok, her music) with a missionary zeal as much as I can
by making tapes or lending CDs to friends.
I posted to the list once before in June, but probably still qualify as a
lurker. I've been reading the digests for months and have got so much
positive information out of it, and also I felt quite close to some of you
through your postings, especially the latest Jonifest postings. The only
reason for my passive lurkdom is simple lack of time. I only have a PC at
work, so my access is limited in time, and all I can do is read the digests,
so however tempting it sometimes is to "jump in", usually I don't. Now my
access has been even more limited by our IT department, and that is the
reason for my plea for help.
They've installed this program which checks all external e-mails for certain
"profane or unprofessional" words, supposedly to stop us being bothered by
unwelcome soliciting. But the result is that out of the latest 40 or so
digests, I've only received 3, the rest have been banned! You can imagine
how bereft I feel!
So I was hoping to find somebody who is also on the digest list, who could
forward to me those digests that I don't receive (I get a system message
each time a message is blocked, so I know there was one!). This person
would need to first delete (or abbreviate, so I still know what's being
said) any words that may have offended my Big Brother system.
So yes, I'm in fact asking if someone could censor those messages for me! A
very sad situation, but I don't know what else to do!
I would be extremely grateful and will of course try to return the favour
(copying some music or getting hold of books that may only be available in
the UK, for instance) as much as I can!
I'd love to hear from you and in any case, my very best regards to all of
you, you're such a great bunch and I hope I can stay in touch, maybe even be
less of a lurker and, time permitting, be more of a contributor one day!
Lieve.
