Dear Jeffrey Paull,
On behalf of Pip Chodorov our moderator and the official
welcoming committee, which should be arriving here to welcome you
officially any minute now, I welcome you to the list. Make yourself to
home. Now that we are all on it, all of us want to get off of this
list, but none of us know just how. That is all of us with the
possible exception of our Alan Berliner. Alan Berliner hasn't made a
post to this list in over three years, in over online archived
recorded time, if indeed he ever has. As for the rest of us, some of
us think a way out is by watching all 450 minutes of Satantango
straight through from the beginning to the end. There is a lot of hope
for that now, especially now that Satantango has been made available
for rental from Netflix. But maybe you can help find us another way
out. Here is to hoping and here is to you. I've got to run. I've got a
nine o'clock. See you.
Fred Davidson
