Commercial stuff is ok *only* when B7-related. Do that sort of thing again, and you *will* be thrown out. You will *not* get a second warning." Am I missing something here? This sounds a little harsh for a first warning. I'm sure Deborah thought she was just trying to do a favour by pointing out a cheap internet access method. OK, it shouldn't be on the list, but there are polite ways of saying so. Your post is just rude and unnecessarily so. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson "What is it with you and holes?"

The bit about filling in her name made me think that she also tried to get personal gain out of it, and that's something I really don't like (abusing the list for personal gain, that is, not the personal gain in itself). But I probably was a bit harsh, yes. -- Calle Dybedahl, Vasav. 82, S-177 52 Jaerfaella,SWEDEN | calle@lysator.liu.se Try again. Try harder. -*- Fail again.

This is interesting because I don't think any girly fan of the two shows would map the characters like this. I'm not disagreeing, just mentioning that there is another way of looking at it. The girly consensus seems to be more like Blake = Skinner (= big and paternal) Fox = Avon (= brainy and suffering) Mapping the baddies is much more complicated - Some fans think of Travis as just a baddy, and so he fills the same role as the CSM - For some fans Travis and Krycek are sexy/evil types and so they fulfil a similar role (in fanfic plots). - For some fans Krycek is primarily there to be pretty and get bashed up, so he equates with Avon, Vila or Tarrant depending on your preferences. I think his looks tend to appeal to Tarrant fans as it happens. Jenna does map onto Scully as female side-kick who is either seen as interfering with or complementing the male's relationships with each other. And I think mapping the Frohike gang onto Orac is inspired.

But I probably was a bit harsh, yes. It is for personal gain - that ISP is running a pyramid scheme, whereby you get free calls if you sign up x number of other people. I for one am getting fed up with the ensuing spam. It's no more acceptable than any other MMF. Incidently, the more paranoid types are of the opinion that it's a new and exciting way of harvesting email addresses for spamming. -- Julia Jones "Don't philosophise with me, you electronic moron!"

Aren't I glad I caught part of the X Files episode on Channel 10 last night. Now I know who you're talking about.
