spylist? (Mar 19 2004 23:55 GMT) - At one point, I used to blind cc my agent any email I sent that might lead to a book deal. There was a time I used to blind cc my academic deadhead friend every fascinating bit of music information or dialogue or culture i saw online. That was a form of blogging.

Re: css question (Mar 19 2004 23:53 GMT) - No, I'm typing the declaration correctly -- just as you have it.

Properganda CrowGirl at Magpie points ... (Mar 19 2004 23:52 GMT) - Properganda CrowGirl at Magpie points to the rolling dismantlement of baldfaced press spinnage by the Bush Administration, on behalf of the new Medicare law and other matters.
