They didn't mention who else.  However, I've seen quotes from Fripp
saying that at the end, the "Discipline" Crimson was quite painful
for him.  Maybe it got too democratic?  Anyways, because of this, I
don't expect Belew, though I am still hoping for Levin.  I would be
very surprised if Bruford weren't in.



ObKate: People keep talking about a gif index. . .  A program was recently
posted to the net which makes a "contact print" from a set of gifs.
In other words, it makes one gif, with a grid of shrunken other gifs,
annotated by their filenames.

This would be very helpful for the Kate gifs, as some are pretty crummy
quality.  And many are "alternate scans" of the same picture.

If anyone wants to do this (make visual indexes), email me, and I'll send
you the code.

I won't do it, 'cause I don't have direct ftp here, so it's a bit of a 
pain to get all the pictures.
