        George, did you get that netmail I told you I was sending 
        you? Just in case you didn't, I'll resend it as netmail. 
        Look out for it. 
 
        And to be very clear, in that netmail I specifically and 
        officially told you that I was declaring Billy Joel and 
        Elton John to be off-topic until September (at least). 
        That means do not discuss them. I have told you once. I 
        have now told you twice. Do not discuss Elton John and 
        Billy Joel, or their music, on this echo as they are 
        currently off topic. 
 
        And the same for everybody else. Billy Joel and Elton 
        John are officially off topic until September. 
 
        And in general, George, if you're not having fun here, 
        and if you are causing others not to have fun here, then 
        maybe this isn't the place for you after all. You're 
        more than welcome to stay, as long as you abide by the 
        echo rules, but I'm just saying, you know, if it ain't 
        fun, what are you doing here? 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
