Ytsejam is back on--with some modifications. As you're probably aware, Ytsejam has been suffering from high volume recently. Although readers can "skip" posts that they don't like, my server can't skip those posts--it has to process them. The connect time charges last month soared to $285 for last month. To make matters worse, ytsejam has been crowding out the other mailing lists on my machine so they were only receiving mail every other day. (Ytsejam accounts for 10-14 hours of connect time, all other lists including new-releases (5600 subscribers) and elephant-talk (2400) consume 2-4 hours a day.) I now have a temporary link up, so that takes care of my monthly charge for the next month. I am contesting last month's charges and have not heard back from my provider to see if they'll lower the charges to something reasonable. I will probably be going with a new provider after this month, but will wait to see what happens with my current provider. So that takes care of the distribution. It does not take care of the quality problems that we've recently seen. The volume needs to be controlled. I'd prefer having you, the subscribers, voluntarily cut your sigs down to 4 lines, refrain from high-noise posts (like religion, polls, etc), and for you to cooperate with those who are going to be helping me keep this a civil place. If matters do not improve, the list will become moderated. Early next month the list will be moving to the Queensryche-inspired Anarchy-X (ax.com). You can telnet to their site and check it out--they have MUDs and other net.toys available. They will be upgrading to a T1 the first week of January, so response times should improve. Before the list moves, I'll be sending out instructions on how to subscribe to their machine. A new heavily-moderated low-volume "ytsejam" will also appear at that time as an alternative for those who wish to be kept informed of new releases, tourdates, and other information, but who are not interested in the high bandwidth conversations that are currently occurring on the list. Once again, thanks for your patience. May your holiday season be safe and fun. PS. Some of the following posts may be out of order. If so, I apologize. -- Ken Bibb "If the boundary breaks I'm no longer alone email_address_removed Don't discourage me email_address_removed Bring out the stars/On the first day" David Sylvian--"The First Day" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 09 Dec 1995 19:50:40 -0600 (CST) From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Midwest YtseCon Message-ID: Date sent: 9-DEC-1995 19:48:36 Milwaukee has my vote for Midwest YtseCon.

Well, you sent your message to the whole list, so you WERE talking to him, and me, and about 1000 other people (well, probably a lot skipped right over). Sorry, Marc, I always enjoy reading your posts, but I had to point out this little logical flaw - I hope bunches of people start getting this concept through their thick heads! :-) Mike Stover email_address_removed http://home.eznet.net/~spider/spider.htm "Oh, irony!

Now to the question about the Magna Carta bands: Magna Carta recently released three tribute albums featuring many bands on the Magna Carta label (I don't know if these are all). Anyway, tha albums are: "Supper's Ready" - Tribute to Genesis "Tales From Yesterday" - Tribute to Yes "The Moon Revisited" - Tribute to Pink Floyd If you like to get a survey of the bands, pick one of these albums. Hope this helps. - Andreas - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Dec 1995 13:45:22 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Marc Respass) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Your one and only gripe with the God discussion Message-ID: > If it is a phenomenon, then, by definition, it is > observable. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Dec 1995 13:45:31 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Marc Respass) To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: other religions (see, right in the subject so you can skip it :) Message-ID: > If you believe in Christianity so as to "play it safe", you > ought also to believe in Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, > Satanism, Buddhism, Wicca, etc etc. After all, these other > religions are just as valid in their own right as > Christianity. Yeah, they're just as valid, but I didn't think that those others laid the "believe this one or spend eternity in hell" bit on you. Based on that alone, Christianity is the one to go with. I mean where's the risk in not believing in reincarnation? You will or you won't. If it's true, you don't have to believe in it. It'll just happen. --Marc R ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Dec 1995 13:45:39 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Marc Respass) To: email_address_removed Subject: ACOS thought (not mine) Message-ID: > ACOS hangs together as a piece of music incredibly well for > being as long as it is.

However, take the > Warren references out of that post, and the message still stands. Yes. As Warren took my applauds at Chris for supporting the 'flame' against him, I'll take the time to set the record straight. I didn't even notice the message was directed to any one person. My response was directed at the general message. So sorry Warren again and I'll try to compose my stuff better next time. Peace <-- see, I'm a quick learner =) The DT song now in special favor: Bombay Vindaloo Lie on the bed, turn the lights off, make sure that it's completely quiet and hit play.

The entire album Black Aria is only a few seconds longer than than the SONG A Change of Seasons. In case you're not familiar with that Black Aria is, it's a CLASSICAL album written and preformed by Glenn Danzig based on Paradise Lost. It's an exceptional piece of music, but whatt threw me was it's short length. And, in relevance to Dream Theater, is approximate ly one ACOS long.

If I wanted to worry about what other people think. I certainly would not be a musician, and would never have done half of the crazy things I have done in my life! If I wanted to make a politically correct proper post...I would write to a digest that is aimed toward English majors. However, none of us are here for that purpose are we... So Shut the hell up!

Aquino" To: Dream Theater Subject: Religion Message-ID: With all the complaining of people not wanting to read religious post doesn't mean that people here can't still talk about religion. The simple solution is to e-mail eachother, not the jam. Once it is clear that two people are clearly in different oppinions take it outside. Well Christmas break is comming and that means I will be without the jam for a few weeks. So when I unsubscribe I will be back. This jam is awesome and don't let anyone else tell us differently!

Message-ID: ============================================================================ YtseCon II Update -- DT is coming!!!!!!!!! ============================================================================ The YtseCon II is at the Holiday Inn in Rockville Centre, NY (15 mins from Malibu) at 4:00pm- approx 6:15. Dream Theater will be there from 4:30 to 5:30 (as of now). We will then go to the a fast food place close to Malibu to all eat together and then head to the show! The cost of $15 ($16 at door) covers, the banquet hall rental, T-shirt, sticker, glass of water, meeting the band, getting their autographs, and a DT surprise for those who pay before Saturday the 16th of Dec. I am requesting that everyone (preferably, or at least as many of you as can) send me the $15 imediately. By about next week or so I am going to have to pay for all the T-shirts and stickers and tommorow I am going to have to pay for holding the banquet room. I can't wait till I get all the money cause the shirts and stickers take about a week to do and the room must be reserved so its not taken by someone else. If you pay by Saturday the 16th of Dec, I will include a free small DT bonus. Also this way I wouldn't have to borrow as much money to pay for it all up front. SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, SEND ME THE MONEY TODAY!!! ---EXTREMELY IMPORTANT READ BEFORE SENDING ANY MONEY---- Make sure you include your name, freinds name if mailing money for him and an e-mail address!!! If a freind of yours w/out e-mail is sending me money, make sure he puts your e-mail as the place for me to respond that I got the money. If you send me money and don't hear any from me about it, let me know! I need to know who's money I am getting!!! Send check, money order or VERY well concealed cash (see note below) to: Trey Allen 453 Tahitian Terrace Jacksonville, Fl 32216 I think that is about everything. Digital Man is doing YtseMaps for directions to the Con -> food joint -> concert. So they will be out soon. Once again IF YOUR NAME IS ON THE LIST AND YOU ARE NOT GOING, PLEASE LET -ME- KNOW! Like wise, if you are going, and its not on the list, mail me also and... ----SEND ME $15 TODAY!!!!!----- ============================================================================ ------------Malibu Night Club - Lido Beach, NY - Thur, Dec 28 Trey Allen Brandon Ghioto "Paul W.
