This should only affect you if you are trying to do one of the following things: * Post a message to the list from an address other than you one you joined from * Leave the list from an address other than you one you joined from * Post a message to the list with excessive quoting of another message in it * Post a message to the list that looks like an administrative request * Post a message to the list with MIME or binary content In other words, if you post something over the weekend and it doesn't show up, it may have been caught by one of the junk filters on the list and would therefore be dealt with when I return on Tuesday.

If ok by you, please post to your affiliates: I operate Media Pool, a filmmakers co-op based in Phoenix, AZ. I'm writing You in the hope that you can connect me with writers who would like to see their comics used for movies. I'm not terribly concerned with the genre, I just need simple stories about 80-90 minutes long to be produced with Arizona talent on a extremely low budget. The ideal story would be similar to the technical film requirements in "Clerks" and "Reservoir Dogs". Feel free to pass this information on, my email is: mediapool@rocketmail.com Thank You, Dean Lachiusa # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info comix-biz" in the message. # Postings must go to comix-biz@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jeff Mason Subject: (cbiz) PRESS RELEASE: Steve Weissman takes on Marvel Comics Date: 21 Oct 1997 13:33:03 -0400 Steve Weissman takes on Marvel Comics Yikes! creator to create stories for Marvel Vision Gainesville, FL, October 21, 1997: Starting the end of October, wildly popular alternative cartoonist Steve Weissman will be creating Marvel Comics characters the Steve Weissman way.
