The first five years

[Sakari Jalovaara <sja@sirius.hut.fi>]

Below is a copy of the very first message ever on Love-Hounds (ne
mail-katebush) as archived on gaffa.mit.edu.  Note especially the date
on the message -- it will have been five years on Wednesday!

Note also the first question on Love-Hounds: "is she going to tour?"
Some things never change...

   Welcome to mail.katebush.

   Your current moderator is ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!r032  (SamR).

   I don't really want to moderate this group, partially because I am not
   a Kate Bush fanatic, but also because there is a rather
   severe limit on my computing/cpu time (UofC likes to charge for 
   computer use, and although I get some free time in exchange for work,
   this free time is limited).

   If you said you liked KB in your letter to me, you got put on this list,
   so you may wish to send me a letter requesting your removal.

   Unfortunately (or fortunately) I will be on vacation from Aug 28 to
   Sept 14th, so unless someone takes over moderation, the group will
   be effectively dead during that period.  Sorry to create the group 
   right before my vacation, but it does give someone incentive to 
   take over moderation :-).

   People Currently on the list:  (so you know who your fellow fanatics are)

   Well, I'm not much of a Kate Bush fan, but I thought I'd start the group
   off with some possible topics of discussion:

   1)  Does anyone think she'll tour the US in support of the new single/album?
   Has anyone heard any tour news at all?

   2)  Anyone want to talk about some neat rare stuff they have (live tapes
   or whatever) ?

   3)  What do people think of the new song (has she sold out or whatever)?

   4)  Will she do well on the US charts (ha ha ha ha ha ha).

   I will occasionally attempt to sumarize interesting points to the net.
