I'm gonna snatch a smidgen of credit at this happy juncture :) It was
a long struggle to get the move to happen, eventually reduced to
David Ball and myself having to run a vote to beat people over the
head with the fact that yes, ListBot sucked and, yes, you weren't
alone if you wanted to move!

One false start later (may egroup's JadePagoda rest in peace), here
we are at, er, Jade_Pagoda :)

And I've decided to rejoin now we're on egroups, and to see how the
initial reactions to the Richards era are going.

Lists have always played a great part in the life of the JadePagoda,
whether lists of favourite books, lists of favourite authors or lists
of fellow posters you'd like to see tarred and feathered...

As such, let me present our first list.

Here are the first 10 individual posters since Brax uttered the
immortal subject line, "Welcome to the new Pagoda :o)"

1. Braxiatel
2. Distant Dave
3. Paul Rhodes
4. Iain Truskett
5. Paul Dale Smith
6. John Parkinson
7. Mark Rushford
8. Woodrow Hill
9. Shaun Lyon
10. Rob Irwin

Phew! Looks like I just made it :)

It's certainly nice to see a mix of old names & new names in that
list. It bodes well for the future & the growth of this great list.

Why thankyou, Brax :))

I'm doing an update to the Doctor Who News Page this evening, and
there will be a blurb about the move there.  Also on the Dr. Who
Alliance list, which currently goes to about 2,300 people.

It all seemed rather . . . seemless to me: nice one, Brax ;) I'm moving
house tomorrow - today - so I hope that goes as smoothly. as if . . .

I can finally post to JP!

I had this little problem before, it wouldn't recognize my work
address which is where I email from during the day... Now I can
finally comment on things -- I read JP every day, and always think of
something quite interesting to say (ahem).

I despise Listbot.  Hats off to finally moving to Egroups.

Seek it out - it is one of the most stunning pieces of music ever
recorded. Truly Vampiric.

"Well I'm down on my knees again
And I pray to the only one
Who has the strength
To bear the pain
To forgive all the things that I've done

Oh girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying its hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed

When you think you've tried every road
Every avenue
Take one more look
At what you find old
And in it you'll find something new

Oh girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying its hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed

I'm shying from the light
I always loved the night
And now you offer me eternal darkness

I have to believe that sin
Can make a better man
Or it's the mood that I am in
That's left us back where we began

Oh girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying its hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I'm blessed"

Hi there!

just like to welcome you all to the new Jade Pagoda here at egroups!

not much I really need to say here, except 'be good' and if you could leave
your shoes by the front door I'd be grateful as the carpet's brand new.

myself and Iain Truskett are the moderators here, but that's just egroups
terminology as this list isn't 'moderated' but we're just the admin staff.

Any problems or questions, just mail me at Braxiatel@... and I'll do
my best to help you out.

thanks for making the move - to unsubscribe to the old JP at listbot just
send a blank email to jadepagoda-unsubscribe@... and reply using
another blank to the confirmation message they send you (this last bit's
important)

Brax, set it to announce only untilthen. Then nobody **CAN** post to
this list.
