Salutations and Joyifications! Just wanted to clear up some confusion about the new and improved PML. 1. It will be sent out on no set schedule - expect an issue whenever I get a round tuit. 2. The PML's intent will remain the same as it was when it started up about a year ago - a way for me to keep up with mail while maintaining some semblance of sanity. In NO way is it intended to compete with, nor to draw subscribers away from the FML and the other ferret-related mailing lists that are available. You'll continue to find posts on them from Tater, Odie. Mee Maw and me that will not appear on the PML. 3. Yes, the PML will go beyond the joy of ferrets and will explore the joy that can be found in all aspects of existence. Your posts on the subject are welcome - and will be published - unless they are entirely too strange and off subject. I ask that all members of the PML be tolerant and receptive to the views of others. 4. Yes, I've probably sprung a serious leak in my brainpan by taking the PML public and inviting contributions. I'm not too bright sometimes. Then, again, it might prove to be something of value. We'll just have to wait and see. 5. The address for subscriptions and submissions to the PML is: [log in to unmask] All other correspondence should be sent to [log in to unmask] This brings us to the address change. Please start changing your address books to [log in to unmask] We'll be at [log in to unmask] for awhile yet, but we'll probably be shutting that address down in a few months. <Stuff> Well, I'm all out of stuff for tonight. Need to take my flu-ridden self to bed and try to dream up a way to publish a mailing list on AOL without having to type every address one at a time. Many much loves, Paw Paw [Posted in FML issue 1789]
