Total codswallop.  It works.  It's alive.  No record companies ever
found out about it or got annoyed (although they probably would have
some justification - on the other hand, now that the US KT CDs lack
lyric sheet, we are providing a very valuable service.)

I will request the KT album list and have it forwarded to Love-Hounds
as proof.

The formal address is lyrics@umass.bitnet although you may have to
route through some kind of Bitnet/Internet gateway - fortunately we
have some state of the art mail handling around here and
lyrics@umass.bitnet works just fine.
