Could we have an octet that's not a thematic and not a longhaul, please? Either an couple of open class octets (those always fill up quickly) or a batch of banded octets. I'm having octet withdrawal over here!

As an experiment, could you toss in a 1/0 open class octet, just to see how much we like 'em?

Thanks much,
Steve

Oh, but, sir, an octet is twice the fun of a quartet! Surely you could arrange for an octet...or perhaps a lovely bowl of gruel...

Sincerely,
Lowly Subscriber

How do you know they are posing though?

No harm done. I wasn't fooled for a minute. No, really, I wasn't, hey where ya goin'?

Oh, and about the octets...um, hello?

Is there anything so sweet as a freshly filled octet, trembling there, just waiting to start. Eight brave souls thinking: maybe this time I'll do everything just right and that stupid sandbagger guy that always beats me isn't even in this one...
