Todd, As noone else has written it, I thought I should write. This list is really old, going some 15 years or something ( John or Rip can probably show you the first email ever sent on the list <g>) The thing is, much of what you would like to talk about now have been talked before, and to be honest we have some people on the list who has no job but to point out that this is Off topic, there is a spoiler warning missing or something else. I think we are being a bit over protective here, as a simple search on Raymond Feist on google will probably bring all kinds of spoilers to you. And in order to reach this list, you must do that search, right? Not many people get to know this list via friends, many of us find it on internet by random search.
I also second to one comment which was saying there are way too irrelevant comments on some subjects, some of the members seem to use this list as like a forum or their chatbox, while almost every other comment made by newbies are subject to bullying. In the end, we don't talk much in the list..
