If there is any problems with .0 then please mail me and I'll send a copy to
everyone in the audience :-).

Chantelle deserves her own topic don't you think!

                             James.

    Brilliant !!!!!

Sorry lads, it seems that I've been threatened with *personnel* on
466.0 :-(.  Since I don't know who my personnel officer is, it would
have been interesting for the moderators - who mostly are based on
mainland Europe - to find him/her.  In respect to the note, I am now
deleting it and will *not* post any further notes concerning Chantelle
to the Digital Football Notesfile.  If, however, you are still
interested in having them mailed onto you, I am prepared to set up a
mailing list with which I will forward any further poems to.  That is
I presume still legal, is it? 

It seems the Digital policy dictates that nothing should go into a
notesfile that may be seen to rock the boat.  I value my position in
Digital and will not do anything to endanger it.  So it looks like
it's good luck from me to this notesfile as I am no longer willing to
contribute to a forum which forces me to delete notes which I think
have both artistic and intellectual merit.  I am no longer interested
in anything that may go on here! 

Thanks,

                          James.

    
    	Bye then.
    
    	Andy.

rep .4

you can put me on the mailing list, I loved every piece of it

    me too...

    
    	And me (if you didn't get my mail to you).
    
    	Malc.
    

     
    And me (if you didnt get my mail either)
    
    Ian.

    Am I the only one who thinks this Chantelle stuff is a load of old
    tosh?
    
    Dave.

Add me too

Andy

    
    I suggest anyone wishing to contact James should do so OUTSIDE of this
    conference. The last line of his last note 466.4 should be self
    explanatory.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Dezzz.

    
    	re .13..
    
    	No.
    
    	Andy.

    
    .16 - A very grumpy sounding note Dezzz (smiley things).
    
    	I think you only have to look at the previous replies to see that
    there is definite support for James (and Chantelle) in this matter. The
    everyday punters are creating a backlash against censorship. We are not
    kids in here, we can stand the odd swearword (is that the problem ?
    Because there are swearwords dotted about a lot of the other notes)
    and can look beyond it.
    
    	In many ways I agree with you to be utterly honest. The Leeds Utd
    poem WAS absolute rubbish which no amount of misspelt words could redeem,
    however the Cantona one was really quite good. The argument is that we
    should be allowed to see them and make up our own minds.
    
    	How about some sort of caveat in the note header like they do on TV
    e.g. "The following note contains misspelt swearwords which some readers
    may find distressing. Hit next reply to skip over it.". Would that be
    acceptable ?
    
    	And another thing. There is at least one other Chantelle effort in
    the Man Utd note. So why wasn't that set hidden too ?
    
    Malc.
    

    Malc,
    
    You don't care about Chantelle, you're just upset about the Bristol City 
    note 8^)

    Malc,
    	Digital isn't obliged to lets us use their resources for our own
    private interests. As Digital are responsible for the information kept
    in their systems, they have defined a set of guidelines which outlines
    the sorts of things which are/are not acceptable in notes. Swearing,
    racism, allegations which could be construed as damaging to some party
    etc are not acceptable. We may all be consenting adults and "able to
    take it with a pinch of salt, but we are expected to have consideration
    for others who may object to the use of foul language. 
        We have the privilege of using the notes. It is a great means of
    having a wide area discussion with people of different backgrounds and
    cultures. But it is also a privilege which can easily be removed. Lets
    stick to the rules, keep the swearing / racism / sexism etc down and
    hopefully we'll have the opportunity to continue our discussions for
    many years to come. Don't be too hard on the moderators. You'd be
    pretty narked if the conference got shut down 'cos they were allowing
    unsuitable material into it.

    	Dagnabbit, Stuart, you're right !
    
    	Unfortunately Jon you're right too. We may have to bite the bullet
    on this one.
    
    Malc.
    

    
    Malc,
    	Its a dirty job but someone's got to do it.;-).....The moderators
    explained the situation to James and I think Jon's additional input
    was very explanatory and welcome.  
    
    ;-) ;-)...lots of smileys.
    
	Dezzz.

    Re: I think Jon's additional input was very explanatory and welcome.  
    
    
    Well, Dezzz, there's a first time for everything !   ;-)

    well said JBG....
    
    for the record, I think Chantelle's stuff is a load of cack....
    
    back to CantonaGate....
    
    Ray....

    Please add me to the Chantelle mailing list.
    
    thanks,

Chantelle has come out with another gem.  Anyone want a copy?

For those of you who may be new here, unfortunately, I cannot post it here!

                         James.

    Strange note, James, especially when you veiw the last line in note
    .4. (smileys and all that nonsense)
    
    			Stretch.

Stretch,

If I didn't come back, this notesfile would be a lot poorer than it is now!

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

                          James.

    
    How could this conference get any poorer than it is now?
    
    
    
    
    P.S. Anyone considered how similar the initials OT and OJ are?

    I know Cantona is a little on the tetchy side, but he is not a wife
    beating, MURDERER !!!!
    
    			Stretch.

    P.S James, Could you mail me a copy of this wonderful poetry, as I seem
    to be missing out. Some of the older stuff would be appreciated also.
    
    		Cheers,
    		    Stretch.

Re -1

No prob!

I've come ito this topic a bit late - could I get a copy too (at least 
that way I'll know what this is all about!).

Ta.

James,

Please send me the latest work, from a girl who knocks Seamus Heaney
into a cocked hat.

Thanks,

Stuart
