Tangerine Dream does ALL the music in it. . .I agree, Lady Hawk doe sillstrate Sun And Shadow, but only in theory, which is intersting, but it would still be nice if she could elborate on how it affected Valademar On Tue, 20 Mar 2001 03:48:17 GMT Kenneth Allen Hyde wrote: >On Tue, 20 Mar 2001, mark the tax zombie wrote: > >> A VERY similar story is told in a movie called Lady Hawk, IMHO an excellent >> movie.

I was going to focus on the fact that Vanyel was kind of an outcast, and was bullied by Jervis, and how Lavan was bullied by tyron, and was also an outcast, because like Vanyel, he didn't like the future set out for him. . . What do you guys think?

They can clog up the list and occasionally cause it to crash and some listsibs have to pay for their email by the line and it can get expensive. A rule of thumb is to wait till you have several things to say and braid them. Or at least try to make sure your response to something is more than one or two lines. Sorry if this seems like a flame, it wasn't meant to be. Amy Ferret Friend Lady of All Things Missing, Especially Socks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
