Hi!

stev0 dared to critisize my FAQ:

;-)

Actually, I found it a bit, well, difficult to justify that entry.
But on the other hand, the long, long list shows how insignificant
(letting aside the fact that She's always most significant by
default) Kate's part in the song is. And if I put down all the
artists for one of the collaboration songs, how can I leave out
the other? (except for not listing the other tracks at all, which
isn't an option - I was contacted by someone looking for the 'Eighties
- VideoStars of 1987' tape for the Living In A Box video on it - someone
knows a shop where they have a copy of said tape?)

I just put it into section 0 of the FAQ...

Q:  What does "Gaffa" mean?
A:  Duct tape.

Q:  When will Kate tour again?
A:  Never.  Ever.  Really.

Q:  What is Kate saying at the end of "Leave it Open"?
A:  "We let the weirdness in"

Q:  What is the words of that spoken word part in "The
    Jig of Life"?
A:  You don't want to know.  Trust me.

Q:  What is the best album in the entire history of
    Creation?
A:  The Dreaming.  Anyone who disagrees is an asshole.

Q:  Should I post binaries to rec.music.gaffa?
A:  NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Q:  When is Kate's next album coming out?
A:  Your guess is as good as mine.

Q:  What are the URLs to some Kate Web pages.
A:  http://american.recordings.com/WWWoM/cgi-bin/ubl?card+1032

Q:  Hey!  The episode of "Saturday Night Live", hosted
    by Eric Idle, in which Kate was the musical guest,
    does have Kate on the tape I got!  Was I ripped off?
A:  Yes

Q:  Which is better, the British, Japanese, or Canadian
    Boxed Set?
A:  You'll just have to get all of them and decide for
    yourself.

I think that just about covers it; most of the rest of
the time is, like every other Usenet group, devoted to
calling each othr Nazis.
