For sure, I agree there should be no censorship (except for 
Philip's MM List rules/manifesto at on MM list FAQ page).

However, in general, I believe it would be nice if a modicum of 
effort/homework  is put forth by a person in investigating 
such rumors themselves, *before* someone puts them on the list.
Especially if they are of such an unseemly nature, character 
assassination, etc.

Moreover, not to single out Chelsea, but I could possibly understand 
if someone was a new list member and asked such a silly question/rumor. 

But TV's drug/heroin rumors have been discussed many times on list as 
recently as 4-5 or less[?] months ago (it would be great if people 
would first check the MM List archives before they ask such ridiculous 
questions or start such silly rumors, but I realize that my expectations 
of someone doing a little pre-post research are probably way too high). 

(Please the following is Not meant to be patronizing--if 
someone new to list (or even a veteran) wants some tips or help 
on finding a specific subject specific (e.g., "heroin", or birds 
chirping on Prove It) on MM Archives feel free to e-mail off 
list---I can't guarantee I can locate the info [failed 
miserably on Wind Cries Mary], but I 'd be willing to try unless 
my day-job gets in the way)

Recall Tim Buckley [NYC?] was Jeff's father and was a musician & you 
might be confusing the two

Hi Everyone,

Phillip and others - Do we really feel that Chelsea shouldn't ask
the question or "spread the rumor" on the list? I appreciate the
fact that it was asked and that a statement was supplied quickly to indicate 
a possible answer to the question.

I feel that Chelsea asked the question in good faith and it was
responded to. It shouldn't stop her or anyone else from asking
such questions or making such statements.

My question is what's the connection between Verlaine and Buckley,
besides being NY musicians? Did either play on each others albums?
Were they friends or just acquaintances, etc. I'm not familiar with
Buckley's music, but know that he is held in high regard by people.
