I'm sincerely glad if my ramblings may have been of some comfort, Seb.

Thanks again, Huntsy...

I'll sure miss you when you stop posting and this board might never be the same again, even though there's still crazy posters like the Muffy.

But I won't probably post here eternally, I guess at some point, the pleasure will wear off. And considering all the time I spend on this board, at some point, I gues it will be wiser to step down a little...

Gosh, this is getting somber indeed...

Well, Huntsy, yes I will take advantage of your kind offer and try to find out whether you left your art in San Francisco.

But why are you threatening us like this, Huntsy? I do feel that I have been spending too much time here; is that your motive?

By the way, the promo 60 is one of my undelivered pieces of mail that will be going up in smoke any minute now.

Patty this week has been a real struggle for me. Its becoming increasingly difficult to post whilst working. I never ever imagined that I would ever feel so attached to anything even remotely associated with an internet chat room (or whatever they're called) but I'm here, living it and breathing it. I'm an extremely emotional person and the people I have met here are almost like lost souls from my past.. friends I've had, friends that I will meet in the future and friends I have lost. Importantly, you are all inspired from the same emotions and passion - New Order - it really is like a release chatting openly about something that hasn't been overtly possible throughout my 20 or so years following the band. Its as if NOW I'm understood.

Well what can I say, this is a ramble. Its definately not my intention to make any idle 'threats'? to leave... I think this verifies my whole point... for any of us to leave is almost like a threat to the others. Right now, I would be upset at the thought of never talking to you all... I'm just trying to face the facts and embrace the inevitable. Maybe I'm taking all this too seriously? - maybe not.

Its like splitting up with a girl / or boyfriend, that you really loved... and that's fucking hard.

One things for sure... I'll be putting Like a Fucking Doberman on tonight full bastard blast!!!

Maybe if we all turn on you one by one, it will eventually make it an easier split. ;)

Huntsy you speak wisdom. Being slightly younger I'd imagine, being a Landahner (they all like UK fuckin Garage down here!), makes it even harder to find those who are willing to discuss and understand, what is, to be honest my major passion in LIfe (vying occasionaly with Mansfield Town/ Warwickshire CCC)

I'd never posted in a 'chat-room' before this one, and very much doubt if I will afterwards. When all is wound up, I can at least say the days have passed much more enjoyably in yours, and the other posters 'company'

Christ, I sound like a right wuss now!

My thoughts almost exactly, Huntsy...

For years, I've been annoying my friends with New Order-this, New Order-that and, although they could be very patient, I could not really have a response...

And here, I can talk NO to death and find other people willing to do so too...

You're making me cry, H, and I'm not joking about that. After you said that about the natives being hostile, I realized I should have taken it more seriously than I did when I first read it. In any event, I think I have messed up somehow in trying to download SF.

You just have to be very patient, Patsy. I don't know why it's so slow, even with my fast connections, but it's definitely worth it.

I've got the impression me and Patsy are in a neverending race for the second place in the postings count...

He's second, I'm second, he's second, I'm second, he's second...

Yes, Klumpy, you're right, I hadn't noticed that before.

I haven't gone yet Jeff me old trout... there's still a bit of fight in the old dog yet.

Buster I fear you might have to help Patty out on the Frisco download situation... I did that site myself and I can't even download the damn thing that's how great I am at websites. Is it possible you could Buster Bounce yours via the snail mail to P man before he opens another envelope?

Good god this computers even worse than the one at work. 1 post for me tonight... everythings gone backside first.

I gave up (for the time being) on the download after about an hour.

Of course, I can do that.

I will do it tomorrow from work cos I don't have Patsy's address here (it's at work). Unless Patrik sends me an email again...

Just a quick note, coz as you say Huntsy your song is of course your personal work, and I feel I've barged in a little, esp as I have nothing to offer you in exchange! Although I can of course send you further examples of my song writing lyrical skills....

Great song mate-enjoyed it a great deal-well worth the hours downloading time!

Thanks, Klumpy; tomorrow's fine.

OK Pats, don't bother about my post in the 'cryptic teaser' thread then.
