12 Mar 03 - 03:24 PM (#908399) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST Wouldn't a thread like this which means nothing to 99% of users be best moved to the BS section? Or conducted via PM? Joe/clones? |
|
12 Mar 03 - 03:28 PM (#908402) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: wysiwyg I think I can safely say without breaking cover that it is a music-related project and that it is of interest to a number of actively participating Catters. No BS afoot here. ~S~ |
|
12 Mar 03 - 03:33 PM (#908409) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST Well why not do it via PM then? |
|
12 Mar 03 - 03:34 PM (#908411) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario Guest - it was deliberalty placed here for maximum visibility I would explain it for you - but it *is* a super secret project - so I can't except through PM's which you don't have access to. suffice it to say it won't be here long and that it is music related in the extreme |
|
12 Mar 03 - 03:36 PM (#908413) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario It *HAS* been done thorugh PM's for several months - with 4 days left to deadline I used this as a high visibility push to finalize |

12 Mar 03 - 03:46 PM (#908425) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: wysiwyg I would bet good money there will be another opportunity before too long, Kim. It's too cool to do just once! You need only PM Mmario to inquire about this, but I am sure he will not forget who posted an interest in it in this thread, bwahahahahahhhh! If this did recur, there might even be a way found for Guests to participate via e-mail, via my motormice address. I have never known Mmario to be less than welcoming and inclusive. ~Susan |

12 Mar 03 - 03:50 PM (#908429) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST OK, Mmario. Sorry I guess I can wait 4 days. curious to know, mind... |
|
12 Mar 03 - 03:54 PM (#908434) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST 4 days left - St Patrick's day, obviously. American obsession with Irish traditional music above any other is a little sad in my opinion. I do however look forward to whatever 'it' is. |
|
12 Mar 03 - 04:05 PM (#908445) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: katlaughing Nothing to do with St. Patrick's day, that's just the deadline. MMario, I've not received any confirmation on whether the files I sent made it or not. KimC, PM MMario, with four days, you may have something you could email him in time! |

12 Mar 03 - 04:40 PM (#908472) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: GUEST Damn, you Kat! (nothing nasty intended) I wrongly guessed Irish music, so what the hell is it? This is worse than Christmas Eve for a 5 year old! |

12 Mar 03 - 04:43 PM (#908474) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: MMario sorry - what's worse - this is only the deadline for the first phase. The completion will be at some unspecified but hopefully not too long time in the future. |

13 Mar 03 - 02:14 PM (#909259) Subject: RE: ultra-secret project From: Rapparee I checked, and I was right: the use of bodhrans, banjoes, and/or accordians (or any variation thereon) is explicitly forbidden by the Geneva Convention, the Rules of Land Warfare, two hundred and sixteen different treaties, and good taste. They are considered WMDs: Weapons of Musical Dementia. |
