To which Gwenna replies "Oh, no! No, not at all." That's a very blatant lie when put beside the later conversation on page 252 "So there are only four of us to work this seeking spell." (Darkwind) :Five: Corrected a voice in his head. (Gwenna) "Five? But lady, I did not know you were Mage-Gifted" She doesn't go back to her original thought of "I can just tap into Nodes to feed you" etc., etc., etc. She doesn't contradict him. In fact Elspeth even gets her to promise to stop withholding information proving that Gwenna was not being honest with her first reply to Elspeths direct question of whether or not she was a mage. -- Paige Proud Mother of Victoria 04/24/98 and ??? 05/??/00 Proud to be Outlandish Insert words of wisdom here. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 11:19:52 -0700 From: "Mark Severson" To: Subject: ML: A simple request Message-ID: <007401bfbb75$811ea460$22c7e4d8-+AT+-oemcomputer> Greetings all, I have a simple request to make of you. Hopefully one that you won't find all that horrendous. Here it is. Please, Please put a ML: at the beginning of your Subject line entry. I don't know about the rest of you but as for myself currently I am following 5 mailing lists. Three of which automaticly enter a identifier in the subject line so they sort automaticly. As for the other two of which this list is one they do not. It been discussed here before and understand it can't be done and I live with that but it make things a lot simpler for myself and I'm sure others if we all used the ML to identify posts. As it is I am constantly bouncing between my main inbox and my Misty inbox attempting to follow the thread of a series of posts. This gets a wee bit confusing sometimes. Thanks for hearing me out. Take care. May all your tax problems be refunds.

She was a neice, um either Van or 'Fandes says something like, 'who would've thought one of MEke's would have been sensitive enough to be chosen?' or something to that extent if I'm thinking of the right person. >Of subject-- to rocks (the subject that seems to always go with energy >theories) what kind of rock do you think heartstones are made of? > >Blondie Ke'Chara ; ) I would think quartz would be the best, quartz is just a cool stone it does keep timw after all, and they can be made of any stone I though, Van's was five with a quartz orb on top.
