It's just twigged which episode we're talking about here. Episodes with
Wesley Crusher in just give me such a pain in my backside that I usually
spend half the episode looking for the Preparation H! I must have
missed it rooting through the medicine cabinet! :-)
I'll keep a cushion handy for my next viewing of that one...
Later,

Subject: Space1999: Where did Alpha end up?
Alison and Marcy got discussing where the Alphans ended up...
>>I'm sure this has been discussed before, but how do the rest of you
>>picture the Alphans ending up?
I'd be a little disappointed if the journey ever finished. For me, the
whole adventure is the journey through unknown space, encountering all
sorts of things previously unknown to humanity. I'd see Alpha
developing as the journey went on, the base's capacity to sustain life
increased, so that beings from other races could join, and Alphans could
have children, thus ensuring that Alpha had a future.
That's why 1999 will always be a cut above ST:Voyager. They're trying
to go home, and exploring just because they have nothing better to do on
the way, rather than looking to go further out and explore. Therefore,
the crew of Voyager, led by Captain Conehead (sorry folks, but Janeway
sounds like Prymaat, Dan Aykroyd's wife in "Coneheads") are motivated by
the fact that some day, they will get home, unlike the Alphans, who are
looking for a home, which necessitates exploration.
Somehow, Alpha strikes me as a better example of being alone in space
than Voyager.
Hmm... that's got me thinking about a "Who's better" list...
Koenig v Janeway
Dr Russell v Emergency Medical Holographic Program
Alan Carter v Tom Paris
Paul v Chakotay
Tony v Tuvok
Does that mean it's Maya v Neelix?!?
Thoughts, anyone?
Time for bed,

Subject: Space1999: Flying off into the "unsubscribe" sunset...
Hi Alphans:
After taking a break away from the list for the last 10 days I've
returned to find my mailbox overflowing with 352 list messages.
Scanning through them I've discovered that Robert Ruiz is no longer
with us, and John Fleming may be following suit. What's next...
I don't know what to think anymore.
Around the time of the list move things were looking up and I thought
that things were returning to normal. Apparently that was a moment of
normalcy creeping into things, only to quickly retreat.
I don't know what to think anymore.
It's like people are suffering from cabin fever or something. The
littlest things are setting people off.
I don't know what to think anymore.
I'm saddened by all of this. A number of people who I call friends
were met on this list. I haven't personaly met them, seen their faces
or heard their voices, but I think of them as my friends. I value
their friendship and don't want to loose them. We have one thing in
common, our interest in a show called Space: 1999. A show that brought
us together, is apparently tearing some of you apart.
I don't know what to think anymore.
Being a member of this list isn't fun anymore, it used to be, but it's
not anymore.
Those of you that are friends, keep on being friends. Take care of one
another.
Those of you that are enemies, call a cease fire, try to be civil to
one another, and respect each others opinion whether you believe it is
right or not.
Life is too short. Enjoy the time that you have. Stop making yourself
and others miserable. Make a friend not an enemy. Commit a random act
of kindness.
And with that out of the way, I will now proceed, as my friend Robert
was fond of saying "to planet unsubscribe". If anyone chooses to flame
me over this please send your reply via PRIVATE e-mail as my unsub
message is going out with this and I won't be around to read it on the
list.
Take Care.

Subject: Space1999: Alien Attack
Hi Everyone-
Today out of curiosity I rented the Alien Attack (Breakaway/Wargames
compilation) video. This particular version was part of "Sybil Danning's
Adventure Series" Before the actual "movie" came on, there was this extremely
tasteless (not to mention suggestive) opening where actress Sybil Danning
dressed in a short short mini-skirt gave an overview of the series. After the
movie was over she returns to deliver more lame dialogue.
It was bad enough they butchered two episodes to make this movie, but to add
this tacky (although unintentionally hillarious) opening was pretty
ridiculous. Does anyone know the story behind this?

Subject: Space1999: Teens, Zines and Beer
Hi everyone,
I took the weekend off from the computer to enjoy the great spring weather
and attempt to finish some non-computer projects. My inbox overfloweth
and my email system has not recovered yet, so I hope this message gets
out. Some thoughts on recent topics:
Teens: An old fanfic story had a resonable explanation for having some
young people on Alpha. They were winners in a world wide science fair
competition where the top prize was a trip to Alpha to view their research
facilities. Trip took place on Labor Day weekend, and like Victor, they
got caught and were not allowed to return home because of the "virus
infection". I always really liked this explanation. 'Specially since my
kids are always involved with the science fair. Kevin recently won 3rd
place in his division at his school (brag, brag) and I was one of the
judges at my own school. This also bears some similarity to my favorite
Heinlein juvenile book "Have Space Suit Will Travel" where the main
character enters a contest to win a trip to the moon.
'Zines: I just got a message from Terry Bowers regarding her 'zine. I
also inadvertantly zapped the messages I received from people interested
in her zine. Terry has been in LA seeing Barbara Bain's new play which
she said was a comedy and really good. If you are interested in ordering
the 'zine "Encounters" please send a check for $16.00 US to Terry at 603
N. Clark St. River Falls, WI 54022-1404. $18 for overseas delivery. She
will email me when she receives the check and I'll mail it from here.
Any questions email me off list.
Beer: I'm currently working on a fan fic novel that I've titled "Coming
Home" considering the threads about what has happened to our friends on
the list, I think some of you may be interested. There are 4 parts to the
story, and I've finished (but not typed) part one. I'll let you know when
it's ready for an audience. About the beer-- I don't drink, so know
nothing about types of beer or tastes, etc. So I need some help with a
particular scene. If you sent Alan Carter and Dave Riley back to present
day Earth, what kind of beer would they return with? You can email me
privately and I'll compile a list which I'll share with everyone. Please
give me your reasons for the beer you choose and include details such as
cans or bottles, what color the bottle is, how does the beer taste (my own
description for all would be "yuck", but my own perceptions will not be
used in the story), where is it made/bottled what kind of label does it
have etc. thanks for your help. gotta get to work. Ellen

Hi guys, now I'm at work and had a chance to read Terry's message again.
I got the cost wrong. to order the 'zine the cost is the following:
(US Funds)
$16 domestic (US) postage
$18 to Canada
$20 overseas postage
Send the money to Terry and we'll get the zine to you pronto. I highly
recommend this one, it's got some great stories in it.
sorry for the confusion. Ellen

I was going to reply directly to Avril but this might be of interest to
the list in general.
If you miss some list mail and want to catch up, it is real easy now.
Just ftp to ftp.buffnet.net and look in the space1999 directory for
archived versions of the list digests. I believe they are tar'd and
gzipped but WINZIP seems to know how to handle them.

...in my opinion, the beauty and the meaning as well, lies in all those
dark
hours out in the deep, timeless space. The sense of being nothing in
comparison
with the unknown. The alphans are just a tiny fragile spark in a huge
universe with
no way out although sometimes it could appear different and changeable .
Their choral actions testify our wish of community and harmony inside
the nature,
beyond the reason and religion.I've always thought it was inspired,in a
certain way,
by oriental spiritualism.
All that was fascinating then (1975) and still it is now, for me.

If you're interested in LEGO and/or the Eagle, read on.
In addition to participating in this list, I'm also a fairly active
participant in the rec.toys.lego newsgroup. Quite some time ago
one of that group's members created a LEGO version of the Space: 1999
Eagle and placed images of the model on his web page. I had lost the
address to that page until now:
http://www.mindspring.com/~gregw/lego.html
Note that you'll have to scroll down a little to find the Space: 1999
Eagle section. The command module isn't a lot like the original, but
it does hold two LEGO minifigures dressed in space suits.

Subject: Space1999: *URGENT* ALL LIST MEMBERS please read!!!
Attention Alphans-
Red Alert, all Online Alphans! PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE IN ITS ENTIRETY AS
IT CONTAINS VITAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS LIST!!!
It has come to the attention of the list administrators that a growing and
large number of list members have been afraid to post to the list because
of the insensitive and inappropriate comments recently made be a few vocal
list members.
Here is an outpouring of private e-mail received by us from several
numerous list members showing that while many of us hear from a vocal
minority who often post to the list, there is a much bigger silent majority
that are *not* being served by this list. (Note that all headers and
identifying parts of the emails have been removed as no one was asked
permission to use their emails. Some of these are from Robert who wishes to
assure everyone that all this was done at his end; no one else knows who
sent them to him.)
________________________________
I still hope this list will grow up again, and I'll continue to hang
around, but, to borrow Marcy's phrasing, I think *my* joy's been taken
out of the list for awhile now.
________________________________
One can not ignore that even though this situation has been explained
in several different ways, by many different people, there seems to be
an overwhelming amount of hatred on the list.
________________________________
The list and the complaints have become unrealistic. It's fanaticism
at this point. I can see a second list coming out of this civil
uprising, and it may be for the best. Get people apart and let them
try their own solutions for all the problems.
________________________________
The reason I enjoyed fandom so much was because the people were so
great. I just don't know what's happened to this list. People used to
be so friendly and thoughtful, and now they are all so hostile and
rude.
________________________________
I just got the message you sent to the list. I wanted to take a
moment and tell you that I agree with what you have stated. Lately
things have gotten so disagreeable that almost every message should be
indexed as off topic. I too have been considering wether to leave for
a while and come back later to see what has become of what was once
the best list on the net. I think for right now I'll stay on and give
it another week to see what develops.
________________________________
I must say I DO so enjoy your posts, but hey, I can understand your
feelings, there has been so many upsets on this list recently, I have
often thought about doing the same thing (to tell you the truth, I am
afraid of missing something good, so I don't unsub). I often feel like
replying to some of these posts myself, but think it may just feed
the fire.
________________________________
I just read the message you sent to the list and I among others on
this list are sad to see you go. I'm sick of some of the stupid
critisism that goes on on the list. Hell, it's not even "constructive"
critisism but destructive critisism.
Everyone's got an opinion and it seems time and time again they think
their opinion for all it's worth to them is law. I've found it with
the various lists that I'm on. Human arrogance I guess. Gee, sometimes
I wish I was a Psychon!
As you probably know, I've joined the lurkers recently as I did not
want to draw flame from my comments. I too unsubbed once unannounced
from the list and am thinking about doing it again. I have a great
respect for you and Marcy. I believe you two are the pillars of this
cyber Alpha. No one has put in as much hours as you two have in
building up your respective sites and contributing to this list.
________________________________
It's been a slice people, but this list has gotten idiotic. Y'all
can't be happy with what u've got - what a bunch of children, and some
seem to insist on twisting others words - need I mention the that
*lovely* Neo-Nazi thread?
My sympathies to Marcy, keeper of this list, for the thankless job
she's undertaken. Some of us appreciated the effort and trouble you
went to with this list - others....well y'all know who you are.
Maybe I'll try y'all again in a couple years - maybe by then the age
level will have increased some.
________________________________
I swore to myself that I would not get involved in yet another list
crisis. Until now.
Personnaly, I have never deleted so many negative posts since I have
first subscribed to the original mailing list two years ago. I am sick
and tired of hearing people whining and complaining and calling names.
Or worse, misunderstanding one another's motives. I know this is not a
Polyanna mailing list, but could we PLEASE be at least civilized and
act like the adults we are?
________________________________
Sorry to see you go. I can certainly empathize with you. As I told
you once before, I was the president of our homeowners association for
2 years and you talk about a thankless job. Adults behaving like
children has also been one of my pet peeves.
________________________________
I think Marcy or one of the other list administrators needs to step in
at some point to tell these people to take their disruptive little
argument off the list and E-mail directly to the other pinheads
participating in the brouhaha.
________________________________
I understand why you left the list, but I just wanted to let you know
you'll be missed. I myself have been thinking of leaving for similar
reasons..
________________________________
Since the new list started up this seems to have become an email
version of 1-800-wah-wahh. The reason I joined this list was finding
others who liked this series as much as I did. I feel somedays I'm
enduring my wife's PMS on an every other day basis. What has happened?
I'm guilty of lurking and saying thanks to all who showed me
courtesy. I'll give this list maybe another week (Marcy probably is
saying this as well) and I may drop it. It's always the few bad ones
who won't leave that make the good ones go.
________________________________
It's unfortunate, but the anonymity of the WWW seems to allow people
the freedom to say mean stuff that they otherwise wouldn't. I've
followed several newsgroups and things of that nature, and there are
always a few asses who think that this is the forum to unload a bunch
of emotional baggage or to dump on someone they think is inferior to
make themselves look big.
________________________________
I just wanted to let you know that I was briefly encouraged by the
direction of the list after its move, but I'm afraid its returned to
the same crap as before. Of those 178 e-mails, a huge percentage of
them had nothing to do with 1999. It just seemed pointless to open
most of them - so I didn't.
Anyway, I hate to see you off the list, although I'm probably going to
unsubscribe myself. And just after contributing $10.00 do see that it
continues. Damn! Oh well, I still want to see the list continue,
even if its becoming more of a hassle to sift through sewage to get to
the few remaining messages of substance.
________________________________
I am kinda a lurker on the list. I am sorry to see you go..I am hoping
after a while you will come back to the list. When i first Join, I
dared disagree with a member and was torn apart, you were the one to
come to my defense..and you never jump at me for my newness and newbie
questions. Thanx I hope you will come back.
________________________________
The purpose of my writing you is just to let you know how much I
appreciate all that you do for the list and for S-1999 in general. With a
career such as yours I have know idea how you mange to find time to open
your E-mail much less maintain the list and correspond with every one the
way you do and I haven't even mentioned the cyber museum.
I have ben known to trash some of my mail before it has ben opened,but
your posts are always the first read...
...So once again Thank You for all your hard work. I know that sometimes it may
seam that you are not appreciated, but if you should ever leave I can
guarantee you would shirley be missed!!!
________________________________
Just a line to remind you that there are still many of us who appreciate
the wonderful effort you put in. I'd like to think I would be able to
handle all the hassle, but I'm not so sure I could.
I really enjoy the list, and I can't understand why people get so het up.
It's not hard for me to visualise a real person at the other end of an
email, so I can't understand how people can type rubbish to people as if
they arn't human - it's really so sad.
________________________________
This guy is starting to make one of my hobbies very very miserable. I'm
sure I'm not the only one....it was well out of order. I've tried to keep
a smile on my face, and to stay neutral, but I can do so no more. This
guy could well be the death of the list as we know it.
________________________________
Being a member of this list isn't fun anymore, it used to be, but it's
not anymore...Life is too short. Enjoy the time that you have. Stop making
yourself and others miserable. Make a friend not an enemy. Commit a random
act of kindness.
And with that out of the way, I will now proceed, as my friend Robert

listed in the Frequently Asked Questions list, the full text of which is
posted at http://space1999.net/FAQ.txt
Here is the most important part which is being continually violated:
- - No flames will be tolerated on the list. This list has always prided
itself on the civility of its subscribers. *Please refrain* from
harrassment or gratuitous profanity in *either public OR private* responses
to list members. Members should feel free to debate and to disagree, but
they must treat one another with courtesy and respect for each other's
opinions. Namecalling of any sort will not be tolerated. It is unfortunate
to have to unsubscribe or ban someone from the list due to intolerable
behavior, however, this has been done on a few occasions.
If you're unable to view the file at the above World Wide Web address, it's
your responsibility to e-mail Marshall (mpoindexter@classtrain.com) and
request a copy of the FAQ to be e-mailed to you.
WE REPEAT, if *ANY* of the behavior mentioned above continues in any way,
either on list or off list, we will begin moderating the list, so consider
yourself warned. We have heard enough from the vocal minority who
continually say they are speaking for the list. These letters show they are
*not* speaking for the list; the silent majority needs to be spoken for.
Letters have been sent privately to the worst of the abusers; if they don't
comply with the simple rules in the FAQ they will be unsubscribed.
While all this may sound harsh, we want everyone who has subscribed to this
list to feel comfortable participating. In the end, we believe that Online
Moonbase Alpha will be a better place.

Hi Marcy and everyone!
Just wanted to step forward and say while I don't post often I do not
hesitate to post because of the latest email crisis we've been seeing here.
Also I feel bad that many people I get along with well on the list have been
flamed or (if thats too strong a term) harrassed off and on the list I for
one have not been harrassed yet.
Perhaps it is the infrequency of my posting or the fact that I try to avoid
responding to confrontational meesages (And messages that may be perceived
as confrontational) at all times.
I don't always succeed at staying out of troubles way but have avoided the
type off posts that have prompted some members to unsubscribe lately.
Perhaps all of this can be left alone for awhile. How important is it to be
right or to change someone elses mind?
An email list is such a peaceful form of communication, there are hardly any
problems here to warrent any negatism. Lets concentrate on the positives
here and forget the negatives.
As always all flames in my direction will be cheerfully ignored. : -)
