The List and the Forum

[tony the roundhead]

Hi Donna....'bout time you showed up 

[johanna/ulla]

Hello,

I can claim to have had the first list wedding, with listees attending,

When will we have the first Talk Awhile wedding 

[Polly Oxford (Andie)]

Gosh: I'd forgotten the List! Must have lost it with an old e-mail account at about the time of the T shirts...
I also managed to ditch religous tracts from my sister-in-law at the same time, and have been very reluctant to sign up to anything like it since! I get quite enough in my in box as it is, and there is so much here to browse that I don't get to make it into the Arms more than once in a blue moon, and never seem to get around to posting - all those messages still only going round in my head...

Greetings, Donna

One of the side benefits of the Board is that you learn all sorts of way-out stuff from members' Board names. E.g how many of us knew who Schrodinger's cat was before joining? Or that Leaf by Niggle is a book by Tolkien? Tarda is either Latin for late (humble self has A level Latin!!) or a variety of tulip or mushroom - if none of these, I am sure she will put us right.

Hope to see you at Cropredy.

I was on the RT list 94-97.  By 1997, a day wasn't long enough to "Digest" the Digest, so it had to go.  THOUGHT about joining the FC list on several occasions (I know a few of you know me anyway) but was put off by the though of size.  At least with the board format you can take it all in at your own pace, and not have to worry about "keeping up" as much.

Enough of all this. It is not a competition.
Descussions about Fairport exist in both formats, the mailing list and as part of this board. Please feel free to use whichever you like.

[David W]

Thank you - I do

Otis tarda = the great bustard - extinct in the UK but subject of a reintroduction programme on the Salisbury plains. See my avatar(da)
Literal translation is "slow bird", which somehow seemed appropriate at the time! Maybe I should change to the tulip?
