[Ravensfort] Populace meeting happenings

[byzytym]

Hello Mistress,

How wonderful to hear from you.

Oh, god.  You haven't read one of the Raven's Fort newsletters lately.
Devan is doing a fantastic job. (Rumor has it that kingdom level is courting
him)   He communicated to me privately today.  Let me quote some of what I
responded.      "You do a great newsletter alright.  I've never seen better.
Always interesting.  Always gives equal time.  I look forward to getting
it."       It's always full of research articles too.  Really, if you are
not getting the Quoth, you are missing out.

As for email being "flat communication"..., as always..., it is up to the
artist to bring loft, curiosity, influence and sublime into whatever the
medium.  In my case, I was going for satirical humor rather than snippy in
my third email.  I don't want snippy.  Snippy is not playing nice.  We
should all play nice.  Polite was what I was going for in my first email.
Positive response is what I was looking for.

I agree, some kind of "online" posting of the populace meeting minuets would
help everyone keep up in a more timely manor and would probably increase
participation in general.  As to who should do it and what should be
included, I have no suggestions.  I just know that trying to get current
information from a newsletter is like trying to play interactive games on
line with "dial up".  By the time you are ready to swing... the game is
over.

Did you catch that Kit' said that university students are getting involved
again ?  Very groovy.  I mean Vivat !

Pax,
MARIVS
