Thanks, Ltapilot

The reseed is much appreciated. The highest (?!) name on the list I recognize as being active is Melissa, the three above her I haven't seen post in the forums. Wait and see who contacts you, or start a new list? Thanks again, MarkintheDark

Lets all

Let's all write Wobbs7 a note of support. Seems he has some hassles in his life, so it is time to be kind and support him. This may help grow your own Karma at the same time. Looks like re-seed #2 for this one. Given the subject of this vine, I am not surprised some do not pass the test. If you think you can pass the Acid test (by passing along the vine) and are next in line, please PM me with your address and in a day or two I will send out the discs. Now I have to go down to the archives to find the source seeds. It is kind of dark and damp down there filled with fuzzy scurry things that go bump in the night. (well not really I just have to find where they are on the back up drives.) Happy autumnal equinox every one. The aspens are starting to turn here and the hills are alive with color. Peace, Rick Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again

The Unspoken Thing

I just happen to be reading Wolfe's Acid Test for the umpteenth time and would very much like to get in on this vine tang... However, the age of it, and the lack of recent updates, along with my rookie spirit, leaves me lacking confidence that it is a real deal. Can someone give me some kind of sign that this is fo'real afore I go climbing on board the vine? "The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." - Ken Kesey

I read that earlier on in this vine someone sent a copy of the data disc to Andre in Germany and sent the whole package onto whoever was next in the list. Either way if it could be sent to me that would be awesome. Cheers

hey thanks i got the disc in

hey thanks i got the disc in the mail. BUT there was only one disc. In the vine description it says there were 4 discs. I only received one. Is this correct?

I think so..

I only got 1 disc, it's the shn files on dvd, guess the wav files didn't get reseeded. I can't decode the shn files right now, so I'm just hoping it's all there and all good.

Acid Test

62. Island Girl >IN 8/13>OUT 8/1763. 10mileride> IN 8/26 64. Kidsmoke Pending that it is all there, 10mileride? Will PM upon confirmation. Cheers

hey kidsmoke...yes it is in

hey kidsmoke...yes it is in fact all here. I just saw the one disc and thought the rest were missing in the mail perhaps. After inserting the disc into my drive everything is in fact coded onto the disc : ) I will send the disc your way as soon as i finish the transfer to my machine. just pm me with your address
