Hi...
This is just a note to all of those who are NOT sending a copy of their
work to WW's archive. It's there and it's useful but would be even better
if it had some of the stuff which was submitted to the list but not placed
there.

        Good advice!  

The stories being written here are great but sometimes we (unfortunately
) can't get to them all. This means some are being lost in the vast
oblivion of the great VOID (or your own HD if you have a copy) (I hope you
do). I have the mail buffer from hell (thanks to my university) but others
aren't so lucky....also if something is sitting for a while on a mail
spooler you may just forget what it is and possibly dump it only to
remember the next day. There have also been a few fragments which although
unfinished still make interesting reading...and having a fragment sitting
in the archive could goad you (by seeing it there or by repeated anoying
posts by others) into finishing it...

        How do you think I got on this ML...I wanted to see all those stories
that were *not* being submitted to the archive....please do what he says...
pretty please.
