sorry to disappoint you once again on the subject header front, but I think
you're being just a little rude to Donald here. The implication that he
doesn't have a life outside the lab is pretty unjustifiable, especially
since your grounds for the statement are his disinterest in the lyrics of
Jethro Tull (or is that Pink Floyd - who cares?), knowledge of which might
just show that you'd HAD some sort of life a long time ago.
Why should he get a second e-mail account, when you or people sharing your
interests could join or start an alt.sad.mus group?

ps Just to show that I have a life outside of my lab (actually a radio in
it) what about "Sorted for E's and Whizz"? - any comments direct to me
please
