Message-Id: Date: Tue, 01 Jul 1997 09:26:38 -0500 From: Francis Sanchez To: ranma@usagi.jrd.dec.com Subject: Tips for Andrea, and for everyone...Gate 7's purpose Reply-To: ranma Andrea said: Welcome to the list! ^_^ A few tips... 1)Don't use the "Reply to All" command...but it seems you're not doing that. 2)Join a faction on the ML, there are plenty, and a lot are dedicated to one person or another. I myself am involved in 6 or so organizations. ^_^ 3)Try to stay out of too much SPAM, i.e. stuff that has nothing to do with Ranma. SPAM is ok, just don't do it too much. ^_^ 4)Back yourself up. If you say "Shampoo sucks", use evidence. Otherwise it'll come across as an insult to the Shampoo people ^_^ 5)Use smileys. They show you have friendly and/or joking intent. ^_^ 6)Get to know us as people. We're all a bunch of friends as well as a bunch of Ranma addi- I mean, fans, ^_^ so be sure you meet a lot of us (which you probably will, from watching all our little nuances, etc., etc...) 7)Above all, have fun! Hope you can handle the mail. That's what I can offer you in the way of tips. Now, for everyone....there has been such an influx of newbies lately. We need some kind of Revised ML FAQ, Faction listings, and member profiles, etc, etc... This is the intended purpose of my Gate 7, Ryouga's Sanctuary. I am willing to put up a space on the Net (probably in Geocities) for Gate 7 to be an ML FAQ and all this other information about the Ranma ML. I am also going to be moving my "Best of the ML" archive there, and will be putting up profiles for anyone interested. How does it sound? ^_^ ^_^, Frank Visit my Webpage, the Ranma 1/2 Library at: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/3136 Quote of the Day (from Manga): Genma: "Stop it Ranma. The Master isn't just another pervert. He's an addict!" Soun: "Indeed. For him not being able to touch a woman...is like not being able to breathe...."
