Okay, class, let's review.

1. Mr. Brengman flooded the FFML with multiple parts of a fic. I posted
reminding that floods are generally bad form.

2. Mr. Brengman's flood continued, and included two mislabeled sections,
and a truncated post to boot.

3. Mr. Brengman, in response to my reminder of proper posting etiquette,
declared intent to post his *entire* story--which does constitute a flood,
as it's 15 chapters--in batches of three per post, in Word 97. Proof that
he has not read the FAQ, which clearly states that ASCII format only is
acceptable on the FFML, and that attachments in any form other than ASCII
are autodeleted by Listar.

4. Mr. Brengman then proceeded to institute *another flood*, which
consisted of several attempts at posting in Word format--even though he'd
been at least twice told (once by me, once by Bailesu, no telling who else
told him) that the list would delete his attachments.

What lessons did we learn today, class?

1. Read the FFML FAQ.
2. Don't flood the FFML.
3. Read the FFML FAQ.
4. If someone jumps on you for posting a flood, don't make matters worse by
posting *another* flood.
5. Read the FFML FAQ.
6. Try to learn from your mistakes.
7. Read the FFML FAQ.

This has been a public service announcement.
