** An "Old Chicks" News Flash from The All-Inclusive Dixie Chicks Page! **

The dixiechicks@egroups.com email discussion group is back up and running,
after spending about 36 hours in limbo. Apparently, a hacker was able to
access the popular list and delete it, giving a deletion reason of "busy
busy busy". Fortunately, eGroups support was able to restore the group in
its entirety -- 450+ members, and thousands of messages dating back to
April 1998.

It came back with breaking news. List owner Nici clipped this article from
launch.com:

>(9/18/00, 1 p.m. ET) - The Dixie Chicks will be the subject of a special

Here's a little "heads up" for members of this list... there's a strong
possibility that the three *current* members of the Dixie Chicks were not
Dan Rather's only interviewees. Stay tuned!
