And welcome! Allow me a word of explaination.
   You've just joined the ML smack dab in the middle of .sig war IV. What 
does that mean? I'm not entirely sure meself, but spam is the result. 
Lotsa spam.
    What's spam? Read the faq.
   Anyway, we're not sending out fanfic's at our normal rate, mostly cuz 
we're busy blowing the living s__t out of the .sigs.
   What's a .sig? Don't ask, you're better off not knowing.
   It'll blow over in a few days, Bob willing. Noone can keep this up for 
long.
   That's Peter Noone, by the way. Again, you probably don't want to know.
   Again, welcome.
