They made me happy too. Excellent stuff!

About a Gloranthan Novice List: there's no need, really. If people could take their pointless rambling discussions on minutiae and triviae to private channels and then post the result of that discussion as a coherent article, the signal-to-noise ratio would skyrocket and we wouldn't have to be inundated with largely useless issues of the Digest.

The Laurie/ Metcalfe Shargash logorrhea is a perfect example of discussions that should be discussed privately until an article could be presented.

If this means that there would be fewer digests per day, well that's a bonus! Usually i sift through todays digest harvest, find nothing of interest and throw them away. Which is slightly irritating, considering that the talent available on this digest is quite stunning.

If, frex, Martin Laurie and Peter Metcalfe could use their manifest talent to write something interesting (like Martin's excellent fiction and Peter's wonderful Sun Dome Somash Heresy) instead of the recent solar noise they've produced, i'd be very pleased.

OTOH i also know that the articles on the digest don't write themselves. If you want to read interesting stuff on the Digest, then someone has to write it. Usually, you have to write it yourself. So, as i have been remiss in contributing Good Stuff to the digest lately, i'll hopefully remedy that during February.

BTW, what happened to the Bringing Up To Speed campaign? Did it just turn over and die?
