And thanks to Bons for going through the MEP Weekend clutching her little
notebook and pen!

I hasten to add here that I'm normally quite amiable, but the situation to
which this quote applies was a special case. <g>

On a completely different note, could someone explain the notations (:::,
^^^ and so on) that has begun to appear in the various lists? I'm assuming
this comes out of IRC chats, or something similar. I understand the usual
notations, such as <g> etc., but since I don't chat online I'm unfamiliar
with this new stuff.

Thanks, Nancy K

Subject: Notations of action (WAS: Re: MEP 2000 Quote List)

At 05:44 PM 2/5/00 -0600, Nancy Kaminski asked:

>On a completely different note, could someone explain the notations (:::,
>^^^ and so on) that has begun to appear in the various lists? I'm assuming

In the case quoted,
        :: action ::
denotes an action; therefore:

>Laurie wrote:
>> <<MEP 2000 Quote List>>
>> :: snorting with laughter while wiping tears out of my eyes ::
>> Oh *Thank you* Bons, for posting this.

Laurie is thanking Bons *while* she is snorting with laughter and wiping
tears out of her eyes.

Other ways of denoting this are
<snorting with laughter, etc.>
<*snorting with laughter, etc.*>

IIRC, all three of these have origins in online role-playing games.

In IRC chat, the chatter performing the action -- let's say it's Laurie,
and that she chats onlne with the nickname ("nick") of "LLaudOTI" -- would
type in

        /me snorts with laughter while wiping tears out of her eyes

The chat software will print to everyone else's screens

        LLaudOTI snorts with laughter while wiping tears out of her eyes

Usually when I see ^^^^^^^ on a line, it means that the writer is trying to
emphasize part of the previous line.  It doesn't always work -- changes in
linewrap and display typeface may misalign the carets from the intended
characters.

Oh, that explains the odd use of grammar that occasionally shows up here.

When you take it as a good omen that the address of the local IRS office is

The rules are going out early this week because I need to keep my phone line
open on Monday.

For information on managing your subscription and on listserv commands,
please see Don Fasig's page
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7139/fk-lists.htm


1. No flames on list. FLAMERS MAY BE SET NOPOST. THE NOPOST MAY BE
PERMANENT.

2. Please don't quote more than four lines of a previous post
in replying. If you have more than one point to answer, then you may quote
the relevant four lines for that point also.


3. Limit sigs to 6 lines. This includes all information, decoration
quotations and blank lines. Your name and address count as part of
the six. If you sign your name on a separate line above the body of
text, your name and the blank line or lines between count as part of
the six line limit. If you have one of those services that insists
on putting an advertising tag on the end of posts, don't worry. I
realize you can't control that and it doesn't count as part of your
sig.

4. Please don't send to the whole list when you are only talking to the
person who  wrote  the post you are answering.

5. Advertising on list is on a case by case basis. Please consult the
listowners, Lisa McDavid, mclisa@m....... or Don Fasig,
phase3@g....... for permission.

6. This list is for the discussion of Forever Knight. Cast, crew, staff
and producers in connection with what they're doing now or have done in
the past are ok. Vampires in general are _NOT_ ok except in relation
to Forever Knight.

7. Off-topic posts are not allowed, no matter what they are about or
how urgent the warning may appear. If you have an off-topic post which
you think should appear on the list, ask one of the owners for permission.

8. The private lives of the cast are not a discussion topic. Occasionally
one of the fan club presidents will make an announcement, but other than
that, we leave the cast their privacy.

9. Con announcements must come from con officials or a designated
liaison and must be kept brief. Cons are only announced on list if there
is a connection to FK.

10. Only fan club presidents or other designated spokespeople may
make announcements of future projects for FK cast, crew and staff,
before said projects have been released or written about in the
media.

11. No role-playing on Forkni-l. This includes no character names as
pseudonyms or posing as a character.

12. Each subscriber is limited to five posts per day on Forkni-l.


I'll be happy to explain the reason for any of the above if asked.

Thanks!
