Article-I.D.: sdccsu3.592 Posted: Tue Apr 26 10:59:38 1983 Received: Thu Apr 28 06:08:38 1983 As my dear friend John likes to say; "It's been real, and it's nice, but it hasn't been real nice." This fan-ism was fun, but it's gone on long enough. Sure, I like it; but it's hurting people, and I don't like that. It's hurting other netters (boredom -> anger -> unsubscribing), it's hurting me (lots of angry flames), and probably even hurting you (competition? Lack of intellectual stimulation?). A fellow who came to my birthday party made some excellent observations as to just what kind of communication system and creative idea-pooling some of these nets could be, and how useful. Let's at least try - please? I would love to talk to any fans, friends or critics by phone or net mail -- or even by US Mail, if you'd rather; write me and I'll send my address. But please, unless you're responding to a specific article of mine, no more netnotes of Lady Arwen, ok? Unless someone creates net.arwen! Not trying to be nasty; I love you all. Yours for a nattier net, Lady Arwen
