"And now for something completely different....."

Every now and then someone comes onto net.games.FRP and suggests that people
share their adventure stories/experiences.  It usually doesn't last very
long, because other people on the net seem to start complaining about the
heavy burden such elaborate stories and messages put onto the net.

I personally like to see these stories/experiences.  Some in the past have
been very entertaining and informative (re: a few which came over the net
last spring, but I cannot remember the article names or the posters).

In order to stimulate the creation and sharing of these articles once again, I
have 2 proposals to make: 1) Write your story/experience and broadcast it over
net.games.FRP and send all flames from people complaining about loading the
net into /dev/null, or 2) start a seperate group which uses mail to send
the stories/experiences to anyone who is interested in belonging to such a 
group.

Idea 2 would require an "administrator" of the group, who would maintain a
mailing list of all interested persons, collect submissions, and then send
them to each name on the list via e-mail.  Idea 1 is perhaps a bit
inconsiderate, but isn't any more silly than ideas and length of postings
which have come over net.flame lately.

How 'bout it?  If you are at all interested, PLEASE let your idea be heard
in this newsgroup.
