        Difficult to get a full impression without signing up, but it
seems like an awful lot of money to join Erc's fanclub. He's basically got
the idea that he can charge for putting what he puts in AOL folders and
such like here a day or two early, is a nasty way to look at it. But hey,
he's on-line and in touch and this I applaud. Just there's an awful lot of
hardsell and little enough to see on the outside... Yours,
