Okay...My thoughts on the matter.

Over the past few days, I've seen a lot of spam...on spam.  Personally,
I'm kinda tired of it.  This is how it has appeared to me:
  
Run out of computer bucks: off for 24 hours.
Get more c-bucks:  resubscribe on a new account.
Waitasec...am I on the same ML?
Robma...where are you?  Robma?  Anybody?
(sees John defending the idea of the Ranma fic)  Whew.
Joyce, John...thank god you're here.  I was beginning to think there was 
noone left from the A-Kon fanfic panel.

Seriously, the only spam I've really seen has been people arguing about 
spam.  Has anyone heard from Rob lately?  I haven't...at least not like
before.  Personally, I miss his witty banter.  Look around, if you have 
eyes to see.  The warnings have had an effect on the amount of spam 
that's been coming down the line.  Let it be for now.  If it returns
to old levels, issue the appropriate warnings.  

Also, to anyone whose fanfic I have read but haven't commented on...
I'm sorry.  Things have been a little crazy lately.  To whoever
wrote "Lamentations of the Lost", cool job.  Mackie as a heartbroken 
musician and Nene as a werecat was a wonderful idea.  To "The Nameless 
Saga"...It's okay...but right now it feels like it's stalling.  It might be
a good idea to pick up the pace a bit.  BTW, that duck dinner was mean...  
John...I've only read bits of the Wheel of Time...but you're picking up
the feel of it quite nicely.  A good continuation of the story.  
  
Personally, I'd like to see more spam...loud noise over the ML
is a lot better than silence.  In two weeks, once this semester is
over, that is exactly what I'll have: silence.  I'll keep in touch
with the fanfic panelists, in order to keep that organized, but
I will hear none of the messages coming over the ML for three 
months.  I'll have more time to write during the summer (right now
I have no less than five fanfic ideas planned), but I won't be
able to post them until September.

In deference to the forces around us, I am hereby retiring my .sig
characters, so as to reduce the so-called useless chatter on this ML.
