              It's still too new an idea in the popular consciousness to have much       of a presence in movies etc.; too many people would be unfamiliar       with it. This will probably change. I like your take on the Wizard of       Oz, though!              No knowledge of the history of the group; sorry. Maybe somebody       else here can fill you in, or point you in the direction of whatever       records there are of the evolution of the group online.                     C              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)
