        What the hell is wrong with you people?!?!?! WW said *NO MORE SPAM*
And what do you all do??? Just look at your self's! I wouldn't be the least

if WW just stoped this ML forever.

        So if you care about this list at all, just shut the hell up, or
unsubscribe.
This is the *FANFIC* mailing list remember? If you have to say something
off the subject. then do it through private mail.

        That is all I have to say.

	Ok.  I seem to do this at least once a month.  While I have never met
or talked to the esteemed WW, I have also noticed that WW has taken the
steps to prevent Spam that WW thinks is necessary.  If you feel this
strongly, Entomorph, then why do you spam?  I personally feel that
sometimes the Spam can go overboard, but I also know that it is
inevitable, and if people use a little bit of common sense, the Spam is
tolerable.  I also realise that I Spam, like now.  It is natural.  It
cannot be helped.  If WW feels that this message is Spam, (s)he (Sorry,
I really don't know) can either let me know not to do it anymore, or
delete it, or let it through.  If asked, I will stop.  If the message is
deleted, I will stop.  If the message goes through, then I feel that I
voiced my opinion well enough.  Telling people to Shut the hell up is
rude and inconsiderate.  This is the Fanfic Mailing list, and I would
hate to see authors driven away because of rudeness.  The Spam content
has dropped remarkably already, and the Fanfics are still coming through
clear.  That is an improvment, and I hope that it continues, but if the
Spam returns, then I will once again patiently sort through the mail.  I
allot the time, and am used to it.  I was warned about the amount of
mail when I joined, and I accepted it. I like the Fanfics, so I will
probably be on the ML as long as I have Internet access.
