So, what kind of dreams DO you have? :-)
Well, surprise, you actually care about someone other than yourself!
Some of us had this discussion in the retro group last year. We would
comply with the artist's request for not reposting, if we knew of their
wishes.
A particular interest of mine in that discussion, was contacting
Quercus to find out his wishes. We couldn't.
I had forgotten Leaf's request. It's been a while since I went
exploring the web.
SO, Leafs will stay on the trees, and not in Usenet.
I'd be interested to know if you thought that by your request, I would
honor Leaf's request not to post his pics. :-)
