[Ansteorra-announce] Stefan;s files for January

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings,

Here is a copy of my monthly Florilegium article for January, detailing 
what is new in the Florilegium this month.

I attempt to sent this to all of the Kingdom mail lists as well as a 
few others each month. Because of increased anti-spam activities over 
the past few years, I can not always send this directly to all of these 
lists. In those cases, I depend upon deputies in those kingdoms, who 
get this article by email, to pass it on to the lists. Looking at my 
records, it looks like some of the email to these deputies is bouncing 
and I don't have any deputies for some kingdoms. Here are the kingdom 
lists I am having problems with. If you are one of my deputies and your 
email has changed, please contact me. If a list doesn't have a deputy, 
and you are interested in doing this, please contact me.

Also, I would like to have a backup deputy for each list. These folks 
would also get my article by email, but hold off sending it until they 
see that the regular deputy hasn't posted it. I'm trying to not bombard 
a list with multiple messages, yet get the article to the folks on 
those lists. If you are interested in helping out in this way, again 
please contact me.
Artemsia - need a deputy
Atenveldt - was being done by Baroness Christy, but it is bouncing
Ealdormere - need a deputy
Middle Kingdom - was being done by kahlen, but it is bouncing
West Kingdom - was being done by Baroness Christy, but her email is 
bouncing

Thank you for everyone who is working as my deputy for a list. I'm 
sorry that the increasing amount of spam is making these anti-spam 
measures needed. Personally, I think many of the punishments mentioned 
in the punishments-msg file in the Florilegium might be appropriate for 
any convicted spammers.

As usual, if you have any comments, complaints or suggestions about the 
Florilegium please feel free to contact me.

Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past fourteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been 
collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail 
lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make 
this information available to others, I have placed this information in 
a series of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article 
that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me 
for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for more details.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping 
me maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials, 
editing and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more 
details.
