       First it was this Wednesday the ML was acting up.. Then this
somewhat Feb 18 will return guy keeps annoying me and some others.. >(ie:
Marissa Price) and then, it seemes the ML is somewhat drying up or
experiencing things like no mail or barely a droplet of mails.... 

OKAY... FACT: The FFML is by no means perfect. It is a great idea, a great
thing and a great place to improve your writing, as well as a great place to
find some great stories to read. But, it exists primarily on a computer, and
despite White Wolf's incredible patience and fortitude, the fact that the
FFML exists on a machine means it will sometimes stop functioning in a way
that was unpredictable to humans. This means the FFML goes down for a little
while.

Hey, life goes on. In all the time I have been a member here (since Oct.
95), the list has gone down for a little while several times, but it
*always* gets back up to its feet. My advice is to learn to live with it,
especially in this world where we all too often expect far too much from
machines. So next time the list goes down (and it will) just be patient and
give it some time (probably a good time to work on your fanfic<g>).


       Is it april fools already??!! ^_^

OKAY... FACT: I like April Fools as much as the next person, but a word of
warning from someone who knows... I played an April Fool's joke on the FFML
last year and I am still paying for the consequences of my stupidity. If you
decide to post an April Fool's joke, be forwarned; like humans who depend on
computers, the results could be very unpredictable.
