So, as a reminder to the experienced members on the list, and to help new members that may have lost their welcome letter...or Haven forfend...never gotten one...hope this helps! The books that are officially in spoilers are: Serpent's Shadow Brightly Burning Beyond the World's End Please use a spoiler space when talking about specifics in these books, also put them in your subject line. You can also put other books in the subject line, for people who don't want to read about them. There are two pages that will help you with the list and help answer some of those pesky questions. The first, Mel's Rules of Thumb, are at http://www.herald.co.uk/local_info/rules_thumb.html It's a short page, and talks about the to do's and don'ts of the list The second page, the NewbieFest, will give you a little more of a feel towards the list, and help you out with things like, "What's up with the sheep?". *grin* It's located at http://www.ling.udel.edu/hyde/pers/misty/newbiefest.html If you would like an email copy of the Newbie Fest, let me know and I'll get it to you ASAP. Also, you may want to read about some of the abbreviations we use on the list, such as "YKYRTMMLW..." or "ObMisty". You can find a list of all of the abbreviations you'll ever see used on the list at: http://www.ling.udel.edu/hyde/pers/misty/abbrev.html If you at any time have any other questions, feel free to voice them on the list, or ask myself or one of the other Councilors (we have our titles in our signatures) privately. We'd be glad to help Oh, one last thing..you need to turn off html when you are sending messages to the list, the listserver, Vanyel, doesn't like html, so it adds all kinds of hard to read stuff to your messages. *grin* Should you ever wish to unsubscribe from the list, send mail to listproc-+AT+-herald.co.uk with a blank Subject: and message body unsubscribe mercedes-lackey An index of the list's archives can be retrieved by sending mail to listproc-+AT+-herald.co.uk with a blank subject and message body index mercedes-lackey To retrieve a given file from the archives, send mail to listproc-+AT+-herald.co.uk with blank subject and message body get mercedes-lackey For help with other Listprocessor commands, send mail to listproc-+AT+-herald.co.uk with a blank subject and message body help Any questions about the mailing list should be addressed to lackey-owner-+AT+-herald.co.uk Wind to thy Wings, Dax the Eternal, Councilor of Mist, Goddess of Elves and Unicorns, Knight of Fluff Evangelist of Low Humor, Mistic Watcher of Continuity NewbieFest: http://www.ling.udel.edu/hyde/pers/misty/newbiefest.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2001 17:09:16 -0700 (PDT) From: Sara Peek To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Friendship Ring and Various Unsorted Fluff Message-ID: <20010705000916.28647.qmail-+AT+-web4602.mail.yahoo.com> > And before I forget...who has the friendship ring? > It's been missing for > sometime... I was the last one to officially wear the friendship ring. I passed it on, but, unfortunately, Erin left the list. I suppose that means I still have it... **The tall girl slips the sparkling ring off her finger, turning it in the light. A dusting of silver and blue lights the walls as the ring glints. "Cennydd, I pass this ring to you. Wear it with pride," she says solemnly. ** The list stuff you write is interesting. :) You've probably had it before, but I don't think there's any rule about that. But just in case... **Flame Proof Shield - 4000 degree test** Wind to thy wings and bright tomorrows all, Sara <\__~ Crazy Freshman/ Psycho Sophomore In this world of froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone: Kindness in another's trouble, And courage in your own. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
