We gave up on paps, and the vine was reseeded

hey now erickat! "We" had no mixup, Paps stalled the vine. Back in the beginning of November I first PM'd paps regarding this vine. No reply. I pm'd her again two weeks later, still no reply. In mid December we gave up on it, and TNHG reseeded the vine, sending the copy to me in mid-December. The vine appears to be moving well now. Paps finally replied to me yesterday (after more than two months!) asking where to send the vine. I told her to keep the darn thing. She apparently needs help keeping track of vines, and also needs to read her damn PMs. Thanks for your help.

So.... looks like we had another mix-up

This list has gotten hard to follow - and we've already had a couple of re-seeds. Apparently, Paps has the package & doesn't know where to send it - she never posted that she had received it & didn't know where to look to find out who was next in line. Keeping track is critical to prevent lost vines - I use an excel spreadsheet to track vines. Sample Vine Tracking Spreadsheet If this vine is off track - then whoever is next in line should PM paps & ask her to send it along - but be sure to post here, so everyone knows the status.

And BTW...

The material on these six discs is must have for any serious collector/historian. I recognized a number of the passages referenced in Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test when burning them. The Jer interview is great, both for the content of his answers and the background noise of people coming and going at 710. All in all good stuff; disjointed and poorly recorded, but eminently collectible. Here is the new list, unless we hear otherwise from playdead or Billy S: 30. Pajak 31. boxen 32. joneb 33. grdaed73 34. Dead Man Telling Tales 35. emily-j 36. hard_to_handle 37. TxJed 38. mercedes42 39. playdead 40. Billy S I will give boxen and/or joneb until COB tomorrow, then I will offer the sheet to grdaed73. Cool? "The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." - Ken Kesey

Billy and playdead got moved to the end because...

...they've disappeared, Billy S has anyway, been absent without replying to PMs for weeks now. Playdead PM'd me last week and said he was going to stop vining, for awhile at least. Probably OK to move mercedes up. Don't know what the deal is with boxen, thought he was fairly active still. Just don't let this vine disappear again, it's been reseeded like three or four times already, it's one of the first vines any new viner will sign up for.

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.

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
