The worst heat in a 1000 years from what I've heard. I'm cooling my
heals here in Good Old Washington. If I could send you a snow storm I
would. Stay cool Tami.

Dear Tom
If I understand you right, you are seeing little activity on the newsgroup.
I too experienced this, until I discovered that one needs to make some
adjustments in one or two configuration files. There are actually a lot of
messages here, it's just a matter of getting them. If, like myself, you are
using Internet Explorer - you may wish to try the following:
1: Start at the page listing the newsgroups you subscribe to.
2: Click on the word "File" at the top of the page.
3: Go down the list and click on "Properties".
4: This will open a new window, and you can then click on "Download".
5: Click on "Download all messages on this newsgroup". You will then get all
the messages. If you don't do this you will only receive new messages - and
they will disappear after you have read them.
You can choose yourself how many messages you wish to receive. This is done
by going to the top of the page again and clicking on "Tools". Then down to
"Options", then "Read" - where you can write the amount of messages you wish
your computer to download (I wrote 300) each time you open the newsgroups.
I am no computer expert, but I hope this helps you, or anyone else who is
having this problem.

sure Sandy can attest to this ......

Dear Tom
Your letter dropped into my e-mail box instead of the newsgroup - I'm not
sure if that was intentional or not. Anyway - I'm glad everything seems to
be sorting itself out.
There is no "digest form" of this newsgroup, as far as I'm aware. You may
access all the old correspondence to this newsgroup (and any others) by
going into usenet - one way to do this is by using the service at Dejanews.
Everything is permanently archived and stored so that the future generations
will be able to see what we wrote about - and where we went wrong (?)
Leonard wrote (I think it was Favourite Game) "Our hope lies in the distant
seed" - but he also wrote something about being as free as an escaped ski -
I really wish I had a Leonard Cohen concordance so that I could quote
chapter and verse.
Well, welcome to alt.music.leonard.cohen, Tom. Pull up a chair, take your
slippers off - and enjoy!
Geoffrey - the good little helper.

Greetings all!
Geoffrey, I can't remember the site where I found the LC writing about "free as
an escaped ski", but I *did* see it and he was writing about what constitues a
"saint." Does that jog any memories out there?

possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it
has something to do with the energy of love. Contact with this energy
results in the exercise of a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. A
saint does not dissolve the chaos; if he did the world would have changed
long ago. I do not think that a saint dissolves the chaos even for himself,
for there is something arrogant and warlike in the notion of a man setting
the universe in order. It is a kind of balance that is his glory. He rides
the drift like an escaped ski. His course is a caress of the hill. His track
is a drawing of the snow in a moment of its peculiar arrangement with wind
and rock. Something in him so loves the world that he gives himself to the
laws of gravity and chance. Far from flying with the angels, he traces with
the fidelity of a seismograph needle the state of the solid bloody
landscape. His house is dangerous and finite, but he is at home in the
world. He can love the shapes of human beings, the fine and twisted shapes
of the heart. It is good to have among us such men, such balancing monsters
of love."
