I think I have solved the problem though. And it's all Andy McHaffie's fault :-) In Andy's post he had a full stop/period on a line all by itself after the line "Is the fan club on email?" This is recognized by mail programs as an end of file command. So, the digest was cut off beyond that point. I'm sure it was just a typo on Andy's part but it does serve as a warning to the rest of us. Please make sure that your posts to the Digest do not have any lonesome periods on lines all by themselves. With luck all will be well now. As for the Chargers, maybe next year.

So please, if you agree with what I have written below, please email me at dlangs@sunstroke.sdsu.edu and put LETTER as the subject. Note down my email address now and do it as soon as you finish reading this digest! Let's let Gary know he's back on the right track! Here's the letter: Dear Gary, We wish to heartily congratulate you on your latest album, "SACRIFICE". Not only does this album bring together some of your strongest material ever, but it has been put together and ordered in a masterful way that makes it your most captivating album in a long time. Every song has unmistakeable Numan signatures: the chord progressions, synth usage, lyrics and vocals, that show your artistic strengths to their maximum. You have made us impatient for new releases. We can't wait to hear the extended mixes version of the album that we understand is in progress. In particular we are impressed by the more serious style and the use of dark, haunting synthesizer sounds. The elimination of female backing vocals has opened up the songs and fully exposed the Numan elements that are the reasons we enjoy your music. If this album is the result of dismissing the idea to make music that might get radio play, we urge you to continue doing so. This album stands out on its own and we think that word of mouth should make it a relative success. Your new approach and attitude have clearly re-energized your music. We hope it will bring back respect from serious music critics, if there are any. As far as we are concerned, you are back! Most of us are fans from your early days and many of us have been concerned with your musical direction over the last 5 years. This album represents a spectacular return to form and has dispelled those doubts. "Sacrifice" has surpassed our expectations. We look forward to the extended version of the album and your next album with great anticipation. Keep up the good work and thanks for restoring our faith!

[<--- the offending full stop/period] Does anyone in the UK have any info on any Numan discos coming up...? Are they regular / frequent ? Any other gay Numan fans out ther...? email me... :) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 07 Jan 1995 01:02:22 -0700 (MST) From: LUKET@yvax.byu.edu Subject: Numan US To: numan@cs.uwp.edu Hello! This is Trevor once again, giving the update on the Numan concert poll. Chicago:10 Boston:5 Wshington DC:5 SanFrancisco:4 New York City:4 These cities are far and away the favorites. Once again where are you from and to where would you be able to travel to see Gary play? Post to luket@yvax.byu.edu... By the way, there has been no response to my letter to the UK fan club ( big surprise ). Why don't we all write them to tell them we want Gary to come see us? Write to: Gary Numan Fan Club PO BOX 14 Staines, Middlesex TW19 5AU It's one thing for us to have our own poll, quite another for each of us to write to Gary individually. Personally I believe that the latter option will have more influence in the end. They may not respond to me personally, but when the mail starts to pile up, they'll have a more difficult time dismissing us. Don't you agree? Thanks, Trevor ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jan 1995 12:25:30 -0700 From: "BRIAN D. HAMMOND" Subject: Scarifice Charts To: numan@cs.uwp.edu Paul Mayer just got his hands on the latest copy of Alternate Press and in the back, on the UK Indie Charts, the _Scarifice_ CD is listed at number 21. Maybe it's picking up some steam and well deserved radio play? If any UK digest readers could fill the rest of us in, it would be greatly appreciated. Me!

I can't believe there are others out there. For years {decades?} I was the only numan fan I knew... wow. I run a world wide web server and would like to know if there is a web page for Numan, and if not I would like to start one...
