Haven't a clue. But have a question: how many of us live in what country? Dave Gilleran here: I live in the city of Chicago, Illinois, USA and as regards travelers, have a home and would be happy to host any visitiing contributors to our fine city. I don't post often here, probably because my primary interest is in actually collecting Yello material to own, rather than downloading files nad viewing scans, etc. Fact is, I'm just not computer-savvy enough to access some of this material, like the Dieter-Ferry clip I have yet to see. Regards the question of "what would make you drop off the list" I agree with the response of: all the ireligion/Steve Jobs this and that stuff. I'm a collector of vinyl, CDs, posters, magazines with Yello, etc. I spend an assholic amount of time hunting record stores in every city I visit and way too much time on eBay bidding and buying on collection gaps. I'm surprised that folks don't use this forum very much to sell, trade or buy. I do end up with duplicates that I would be into trading, for example when I worked in a record store I ordered the UK "Rubberbandman" 12" and was magically shipped like 6 or 8 copies. This is when it was new, so they remain mint, untouched. Totally tradeable. So if people wanna post their want-lists or trade lists, I'll try to whip up the same, though doubtless many of the same rarities would show up on any want list. I'm also happy to keep an eye out for such items as I shop at lots of different used stores in Chicago, etc. When I figure out how to scan larger items, I have a nice Ralph Records poster of the first two albums to share as well as fliers from the '80s and some articles. Where should I send them. I guess I need a little computer advice (I own a Mac). Dave
