The one with the big 'R' on his pointy hat said: "R> If we get traffic going again, I (as reader) don't want to R> wade through ten posts a week of Admin's. Nor do I wish R> to inflict that on others. :)" To which the one with the 'B' on his pointy hat cleverly replied, "B> You don't have to read anything you don't want to." To which the wise one (with no pointy hat) followed: "Surely the news group exists more for the writers than the readers?" The sound of the intellectual debate made Trawm grind his uneven and mismatched teeth. The effect was chalk-on-blackboard. He walked over and slammed his meaty fist down on their table. "Less talk, more drink." Satisfied with silence, Trawm walked back to his table and sat next to his panther-esque girlfriend Shannon. She leaned close and purred in his ear, "That showed them sweetie." Then she began playfully braiding the hair growing from the tip of Trawm's nose. Love and Peace and Happy Hanukkah, -The Dreamer- Keeper of the FAQ ADMIN: Seriously guys...we should worry less about the "rules" of APDI and more about writing a good story. Sure, there are some well-established precidents (like the staff in the inn), but we shouldn't spend too much energy debating policy while the group is (relatively) low on new material. If a debate must continue, then please take it to e-mail.
