Hi again Chris & all.
If you're interested in getting to know the people from the list, why
don't you drop in the weekly chats that we have every Monday at
www.about.com? There's a group of regulars, and always one or two new
faces... great fun. They are at 6 and 11 pm, your time. (UK)
Also, a bunch of the TMMLers are on ICQ for personal chatting
(If you'd like a list of TMMLers that like to talk and their ICQ numbers,
check Al's DQMOT site or email me directly.... and if you don't know what
ICQ is, check out www.icq.com. I'll be glad to help anyone start using
this program if they're interested.)
Keeping mails to the subject of Madness / the meets / a few related topics
makes things bearable on a list of over 500 people. I'm sure I'm not the
only one who felt like tearing my hair out while the "Hello.... I'm 15"
mails were circulating. I'm not against people including a bit of
personal info. into their mails... as long as they had something
interesting and relevant to say in the first place. Most people would
probably agree.

We are open to your ideas! Do you have any specifics? Is there something
you'd like to be involved in? Why don't you mail me or the moderators if
you would like to start something new. Like you said, this is a community
of sorts, and everyone's ideas / contributions make things interesting.

Looking forward to your suggestions.
