Oh no, not the Magritte one?? I saw it on eBay & noticed your name on it -
that was an incredibly cool poster. Was this it?
How badly mangled is it? If you send it to me I can try to restore it (and
send your other one too while your at it, if you think it can be saved)
Even before this preservation bookbinding work, I've been known to fix
things that people thought were irreparable. This includes my Gustav Klimt
print of 'Ophelia' which that parrot we were caring for had partailly
devoured. Send me an visual estimate of the damage...

I'd do anything I can to help - please send them on up when you get the
chance. For heavy-duty poster type tubes, I can recommend a length of PVC
pipe (with ends covered with brown butcher's paper & taped sturdily down and
all around for waterproofing) This is how we ship such things as cello bows,
so posters should be nice & safe travveling this way too. The weight of the
PVC will make it cost more to send, though, but not colossally more, most
likely.
I'll look into the preservation books & videos at work and see what they say
about getting fold marks out of flat documents.

You're a goddess! Thank you SO MUCH!!! Let me get the Calamity Kids back
in the (ex) USSR, and I'll go up to Home Depot and get tubed, as it
were.
:-)
I'm really looking forward to having the "Close But No Cigar" poster up
here. The earth tones will be rocking cool in my (har har) palatial
bedroom.
Cheers,
Melissa

Subject: Alloy: List manager message!
For the past few weeks, I've received emails from quite a few of you,
concerned about what's happening on a certain peripheral list someone has set
up (no need to be more detailed, as those of you who've written will know
what I mean) I'm sure it's causing a lot of our mutual members some confusion
& I'd like to voice my thoughts on the situation to all of you as Alloy's
owner.
First of all, a standing ovation to everyone for their calm reactions in the
face of so much unprecedented strangeness on Alloy/related list. You've all
been put through so much, ever since I admitted there was a serious ongoing
disagreement between myself and another member. Again I apologise for the
resulting stress this may have added to many Internet lives. I had feared
this kind of disruption most of all & it was very difficult for me to make
the decision to come forward to admit my failings with the certain Alloy
member to all of you here. However I felt I owed everyone an explaination as
to why I had been so upset with this person, and afterward, I set myself to
try & make the best of the resulting fallout which I had known would occur.
I assure you all (and thank you so much for your warm concerns) that I'm
indeed fine & that this recent situation had been forseen. With all due
respect, I've tolerated far worse, and from far more skilled opposition quite
frankly, in the past. Therefore any abuses hurled toward myself or Alloy on
this peripheral list, or anywhere else, will hopefully be just ignored (as I
know many of you have already been wisely doing). Alloy will of course endure
through it all, owing to the strength and good will of all of Alloy's
outstanding members throughout the world.
Again, I thank you all for your wonderful support during so difficult a time
for everyone. Based on some excellent calmiing advice from a very dear friend
on this list, I'm confident that this situation (like the other rare
conflicts we've experienced on Alloy) will eventually run its course. I have
faith that with gentle handling, time will heal this.
In the words of our beloved Thomas Dolby, "The future is roses... " Believe
it! :)
