bong -- BONG - the Depeche Mode list
About bong	English (USA)
This list has been around longer than any other DM list on the net. In fact, it was the first. It's changed domains a few times, but... :) To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the bong Archives. (The current archive is only available to the list members.) Actually, those are only since Oct. 2003, all new posts are gathered with most of the ancient ones these days, so, see what follows, they are a lot better! You can also check out the latest version of the archives, going back further in time, from the Majordomo days. I've got them back to January 1996 but am working on the earlier ones. I've got the archives back to about 1992, somewhere, and I'll get them up here someday. COOL ARCHIVES START HERE.

Though I don't quite understand why somebody would want to keep their posts out...if you don't want it recorded, maybe it doesn't need saying? I don't know, I'm confused. :)
