Hello all,
This is the quotations list all have been talking about. Natacha was kind
enough to mail it to me, but I think it's worth reposting to the list.
If your anything like me, you'll soon be saying "Oh _that_ quotes list"; I
got it the first time, but forgot all about it, and hence relied on
Natacha's generous soul to provide me with the list.
I've also left on Karla's farewell letter to the list, which came with the
original post.

>>Hi everyone, I will soon be untubscribing from this list. Press Gang just
>>ended it's run here in Ontario a few weeks ago, and I am now moving on with
>>my life.
>
>>Parting gift - my quotation list. I hope you guys like it. It's not
>>complete because I missed the first series, and didn't start recording the
>>episodes until the 3rd. This is as complete as it's going to get.
>
>>Of course all these words belong to their owners, and not myself. I guess
>>that would be Central and Richmond Films & TV, or whatever. I dunno, just
>>don't sue me please.
>
>>It's been fun. Have a Lynda Day everyone. ;)

>> Yours Truly,
