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. -Paul Pederson disclaimer: I don't think that Bunker Ramo holds all of the same above views or opinions, but it would be nice, and if you think they do, have I got a bridge in Brooklyn that I'd like to sell you!
