    Derek ran his fingers over yet another of his keyboards and wrote..

    > 12) DEREK : THE FINAL WORD
    > by NckyLemons@aol.com

    Hi there
    I had been disappointed with the jam recently and hence not bothered
    to post anything as there was nothing good to reply to.

    However, I thought the reply by Derek was great, and at a much higher
    level than his previous post.

    I hope that the slanging matches/flame wars that have been on the list
    recently will not dissuade other band members (no pun intended) to get
    on here and chat. Mike always seems to post so lets hope it is going
    to get better on here.

    Roll on the live album/video.

    Cheers

    Simon

    ps to those guys who I am trading DT boots with, I am on the case and
    will email you soon.
    pps The Gilrock ranch cd is great BTW

    Nice nickname..

    My sentiments too... My check was returned as the PO Box was closed down... At least my envelope was returned intact..

    But turns out you have to send CASH now overseas... Here is what I found out... Send cash a $20 dollar bill to:

    Dream Theater International Fan Club Headquarters Address: D.T.I.F.C. P.O. Box 1067, Caterham, Surrey CR3 5ZU, England

    put a card or a note with your full name, address, birthdate, and country. I think it's like $18 but easier to conceal a single $20 and tell them to just keep the change on that note. Might wanna put a thank-you card or something simple so that nobody can easily hold it up to a light and see cash inside. Just FYI.

    And a note to those MIME and HTML posters.... It doesn't take a lot of common sense to go look through your Email programs to find some "OPTIONS" or "CONFIGURATION" or "PREFERENCES" and go looking for options to turn off HTML and MIME. The OWNER OF THIS LIST has asked people politely on many occasions to turn this crap OFF while posting to the Ytsejam and people continue to abuse this. If some people found themselves unsubscribed from the list until they can either DISABLE the damn HTML and/or MIME postings or simply use ANOTHER Email program to post to the 'Jam.... Come on people.. Let's stop the damn HTML and MIME postings. It just takes up twice the space and who needs to read all those posts twice!!!

    I have to agree here. I liked Voices, at least when it was actually *around*. Of course, I was a pretty big fan of the moderated Ytsejam, too.

    Perhaps there is someone else who could take over moderating duties in order to resurrect Voices? I'm not sure exactly what that entails, but I'm sure there is interest out there.

    I don't know why you guys are doing it over ESPN and paying $30, when you can do it through Sandbox/Yahoo! for free....

    ESPN is probably better, but you would probably get more people to do it if it were free.....

    just some thoughts..........

    Turning off HTML is SO EASY in Microsoft Outlook 98.

    1. Click on ADDRESS BOOK 2. Click on YTSEJAM in there 3. Click on PROPERTIES 4. Click the box "SEND EMAIL USING PLAIN TEXT ONLY" at the bottom.

    DONE. It's that easy people.

    That way.. you can still send your precious damn HTML/MIME to other people but NOT the 'JAM. So hop to it.

    It's gotta be very easy to turn off HTML in Nutscrape and Eudora as well.

    Let's thin out the Jam a bit by unsubbing some of these repeat offenders of the HTML and MIME postings !!

    I hope everyone who sends posts in HTML and MIME format are happy. They know when they read their own posts on the 'Jam and at the end of their text they see their ENTIRE message all over again with all that gibberish. They just ate up room that could have been 1 or 2 more posts from others. Hell some of the longer messages with the big quotings from prior posts can eat up room for 4 or 5 more messages from others. So when you post in HTML and/or MIME format and you see your posts on the 'Jam, give yourself a pat on the back for being a DICK. Walk tall and smile the rest of the day knowing you stand out like a sore thumb and have a big "L" on your forehead.

    Alright Mosh, I'll help the other MicroSUCK users w/ Outlook Express/Outlook 98:

    1. From the File menu, Click on Tools. 2. Select Options (all the way at the bottom, you morons! :P ) 3. Click the Send tab. Set both your Mail and News sending formats to PLAIN TEXT!!!!!!! 4. Click on the Settings for each sending format and make sure "Automatically wrap text at XX characters" is set at 70-75. 5. Click "OK"

    You should now be set to post without pissing off the godz...just don't say anything stoopid!! :)

    No shit?!

    <Sarcasm off>

    I would also like to get my hands on a new DT album(Who wouldnīt?) as fast as possible but a live album is a damn good way to make the waiting more enjoyable.I also like to listen to the live versions of songs more than I like to listen to the album versions.Iīm particularly interested to hear the FII songs live, since I didnīt like some of the songs because of the crappy mix(<--IMHO).

    Well, it seems that "Voices" is officially dead now, so let's get off to a fresh start. I've started a new mailing list called "The Mirror" on makelist. If you all would like to subscribe to that, great... if not, no problem, it's not going to hurt my feelings, I just thought I'd take the initiative.

    Send email here to subscribe: the-mirror-subscribe@makelist.com

    Or use the form at this url: http://www.dreamt.org/ytsemirror/themirror.html

    Post to the list using this address: the-mirror@makelist.com (you must be subscribed to post)

    It appears that there is enough interest in a "moderated" list, so it would seem to me that anyone subscribing would want to keep the discussion limited to Dream Theater. With that in mind, this list will be "self moderated" (at least to begin with)... that means your messages go straight to the list without being approved. If that doesn't work out, we can take a vote of the subscribers, and switch to full moderation if needed.

    See you there :o) -- Lisa Marie "Jessie" ytsegirl@pacbell.net http://home.pacbell.net/ytsegirl _________________________________________ THOUGHTS - The Spock's Beard Mailing List http://www.dreamt.org/spocksbeard _________________________________________ The #Ytse Mirror - #ytsejam news & gossip http://www.dreamt.org/ytsemirror _________________________________________ Ytsejam Radio on Real Audio http://www.tc.umn.edu/~hayd0029/ytseradio

    ..And there you have it. I suspected when everyone was getting way the hell bent out of joint that, just maybe, their interpretations were skewed. The man is getting to play what he digs most, good music, and he's got the amazing perk of having multiple chicks drooling over him wherever he plays. Can't blame the guy for enjoying life.

    Ooooh! Oooohhhh! How about: If some terrible, horrible catastrophy were to happen to Dream Theater, what would you want it to be?

    Personally, I'd like to see them all adrift on the Atlantic suffering from scurvy. God forbid, the survivors would come back and start writing pirate music a-la Symphony-X though. Ack. I just got sores in my mouth thinking about that. Actually, in spite of that post awhile back, I think it might be laughable if John M. went postal. The quiet types always do.

    Yeah but on a different channel over here in the UK a couple of months ago (might still be showing) he was introducing stand up comedians at a club in London that was broadcast once a week. Now thats a bit different to playing the keyboard isn't it.
