You do not need to send a message that consists of three words. If you really feel that you HAVE to say it, sent it privately to the person you are talking to. I know this has been pointed out by many other members, but no one seems to be getting it. DO NOT SEND ONE-LINERS. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be flaming anyone, but it's getting really annoying.

And now I don't have to. =) *The Mage of Green Silences looks sternly around the Halls of Mist* All I will add is that I am officially endorsing what Lightsong has said and I hope that everyone will review the Misty List guidelines about netiquette and the Rules of Thumb for posting to the list. Things are getting to the point where I feel that it may become necessary, in the near future, for me to pay a public visit to certain list-members and induct them into the Order of the Drifting Ashes. I trust that's clear enough? =) For those of you who are not snipping, if the reason is that you don't know how to snip or what snipping and braiding are, please contact a Councilor for help or read the Newbiefest at: Especially now that we have got some real discussions going on the list, it's important to observe the basic netiquette in order to make the discussions as smooth as possible.
