Thanks Geoff, for defending my honor and anyone else who had posted regarding my innocent intentions. I do not get anything from CDNow for anything you purchase with that coupon. I had learned about the coupon from an e-mail I had gotten. I don't recall who the e-mail was from...maybe Geocities or Lycos. So maybe one of them will benefit if you buy a CD. So what? The point is, if you have a CD you've been wanting to buy, you can get $5.00 off. So, CDNow benefits, someone else (geocities or lycos) benefits, and you benefits. What the hell is wrong with that? Besides, I am not the first person to post an URL for a CDNow coupon. Others have done it. I have bought CD's from CDNow because they made the post. And I have saved 5-10 bucks because of it. Nobody questioned their intentions when they made the post. And if they did get something out of my buying a CD...great! I stilled saved money. And if a fellow list subscriber got something out of the deal, then good. If a third party has to get something out of the deal, I'd rather it be someone I "know". And if it was some other company, like geocities or lycos, so be it. That's business. Don't worry. The next time I see something that I think SOMMS subscribers may benefit from, I'll think long and hard before I share it. Michelle >I believe you are wrong Mr. Kinser. First off, that url does not look like a >cosmic credit url at all. Secondly, cosmic credit doesn't work that way; they >don't offer $5 coupons. Michelle's post was a sincere attempt to offer $5 off a >cd for sommsters. I took advantage of it, and would like to thank Michelle. >Geoff ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 09:29:33 EST From: Shawnte Orion Subject: wash away the rain I remember hearing that the director wasnt quite finished with the video's effects when it aired the first bunch of times, so that is why the added effects were only seen on the later version. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 08:09:41 -0800 From: ?

Here is my little response, but first I have to be cheesy and say what you have probally heard enough of by now!! I hope everyone is having a great 1999! The BHS video version on the CD ROM is probably a shorter version than the one seen on TV. I was guessing that maybe it was put on the cd without the effects on for a couple of reasons which are probably all wrong! One was for the sake of space saving when compressing the movies with the cinepak quicktime compression (which is not of super quality on the cd). I was also maybe guessing although I feel it to be most likely that the edited version on the cd was maybe an early edit of the video before the effects were added. -John _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Subject: vid i noticed that too. the video was really clean. and i swear to god that theres a different shot of matt when he does the fill in the last break, the quick fourths on the toms. maybe they liked the origional better cause they thought the effects were cheesy and so they decided to mass produce that one. i dunno, maybe its just me. mr.product >Hey >I just watched the version on the Alive in the SU CDRom.
