It is not my intent to stir up divisive feelings between wombers and
seancers, but from the meek protest of my subject line you can infer that I
believe we are having a problem communicating news to *all* fans. Kai put
it best, he simply doesn't have the time to canvass the womb. Hotel Womb is
exploding, which is great, but it becomes harder and harder to read all of
the Womb and all of Seance. So, if news is posted at the womb and it isn't
posted in the forum you might expect it to be in...or, if you take a
vacation and simply don't have time to wade back through it all, you miss
out. But if you post on seance, it reaches everyone on the list. Some
people throw out digests, and posts in HTML don't help either, but they
still have the news at some point on their computer. Fault theirs for
tossing it out. 

From my standpoint, it is just a matter of thoughtfulness and
consideration. Little things still count most. And I think that it is a
little thing, a thoughtful thing, that I'm asking for. I'm not trying to
pull down the gods from the skies. I don't particularly care whether we are
or we are not Neumann's little fishies (though it's a nice thought, and I'm
happy for those wombers that Steve would give them that status). How
difficult is it though for news to be passed on through two forums, even by
proxy? Let me tell you, folks, we're not talking about inventing the wheel
here, it's a matter of cut and paste. I find myself wondering how much I
would miss out on if I didn't pour over the womb daily. I think it would be
a mistake to believe that a mass exodus to the womb has made this list
irrelevant. KLK, The Big Four, Various other people of Major and Minor
importance, if you guys are listening out there, show us a little love,
too. Please.
