Notes to list:

1. I've noticed that yahoogroups seems to be fouling up
much more often than usual. The original copy of this post
I sent to the list, last night, seems to have vanished and
my second attempt to post, just now, produced nothing but
an error message indicating that message 13 (Kerri's) could
not be retrieved. Under the circumstances, I'd recommend
retaining copies of anything one posts on the site to a
yahoogroup, at the very least until one sees it appear in
the archives.


2. I know I promised to set up another list to handle
webring related matters, and I did

but judging from the fact that people are still coming onto
this list with Webring applications, something needs to be
updated somewhere to get people to head over to the new list.
I ask for your patience, as there is a lot to realign.


Note to Kerri B. : You're OK. Your application is in. I
just have a question or two to ask you, and obviously some
oversights of my own to go take care of, so others don't
get directed to the old list as well.

Which one? I run a few. I skimmed it briefly, and note that
a PM from you came from the "Tim Skirvin" ring. As your
blog isn't about Mr. Skirvin, but it is about free speech,
it looks like a better fit for one of my Free Speech rings.

Sorry to hear about it.

I'll take a look at it in greater detail tomorrow night.

There we're going to have a problem, because your second
blog is not viewable by the general public, meaning that I
would be breaking the ring by admitting it. Not a problem
with the first one, though.

Whichever ring you have in mind, I believe that all is
explained on the hubpage and join pages for the ring.
I ask people to drop by my homelist (actually I have
two of them) and ask me to open the ring for them. There
are a number of reasons for this. It chases off the spammers
and it guarantees that applicants won't be left sitting
around with my navbar on their site, waiting for me to log
in and check for applications. If your site is a good fit
for the ring you have in mind, we should have you up and
running in a day or two, which is a much shorter turn around
time than most ringmasters manage.
