Subject: Re: More on "Dark Knight"
Very good analysis. It did map out the irony of the whole thing. Nick
loses because he doesn't read information about museum exhibit's.

Thinking a bit more about "Dark Knight", it occurred to me what a catalytic
role that Mayan exhibit had. *g*)
Nick had evidently been in Toronto for about three years, working as a cop
for a year. In that time, he clearly knew Janette was at the Raven (for
how else would he have known to look for her there). Yet it took Lacroix's
arrival in Toronto to get him to go and see her.
Of course, it was also the murder of the guard--the only one committed by
Lacroix, when he decided to get the jade cup--that persuaded Stonetree to
set Nick up with Schanke as his partner.
Lacroix, of course, only came to Toronto because he thought Nick was after
the jade cup, which had been featured in the newspaper.
And (this is the joke), Nick hadn't even noticed the exhibit was on!

Subject: Admin: Question about the quote limit rule
Instead of just nagging about the limited quotations in reply rule,
I've decided to ask the posters' opinion. Originally the rule was put
in place because we were a very high traffic list for a show which was
currently airing. Our storage disk for the digest kept jamming and
having to be freed up by hand. The digest readers didn't like having
to page past a lot of repeated material. To avoid this we put in this
rule.
Now that we don't have either situation, I would like to know if you
feel that the rule is still needed. You can either reply to me
personally, mclisa1014@g......., or onlist.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: "Dark Knight", Second Chances my ramblings as I watch
Of all the museums in the world, guess what was on Museum Secrets on
the Smithsonian Channel last night? The ROM.
One segment involved a curator's attempt to prove the usage of a
grenade-shaped object from the Middle East ca. 1200.
The first theory was that it was a bowl for a water-pipe. He took a
replica to a local shop specializing in such pipes. Conclusion:
possible, but uncomfortably heavy to hold in the hand, the way
water-pipe smokers are shown doing in period illustrations. The second
theory was that it was a bomb, or early hand grenade. This proved, by
tests involving replicas, period explosives and watermelons (
stand-ins for humans), to be correct.
I had a vision of Nick and LaCroix ROTFL at the sight of anyone trying
to use the thing for a bong.

Oh, yours was one of the first to go in the archive!
When Yahoo announced that GeoCities was going to disappear, Nancy Taylor
raised the question of possibly saving at least the war and faction sites.
When I said I'd do it, you were one of the people on list--I think there
were three of you altogether--who asked me to try to save your site, too.
(Yahoo had given people utterly useless advice. It simply didn't work! I
had to figure out a different way to save the pages, since my browser flatly
refused to do it the way that they suggested.)
That was actually *before* Steph got involved. I remember editing all three
sites and sending them off to their owners, hoping you'd all find new homes
for them. I was hunting for free webspace for my own site, too.
Then Steph offered to host an archive; and one of you sent your site to her
even before I took her up on the offer.
In the end, of course, I tried to save all the sites I could find. I
started with the war and faction sites, and then saved just another...and
another...and finally decided to try to save as many as possible.
But that's how it started.

Subject: Looking for a story
In editing websites for inclusion in the Archive, I usually follow up old
links to see what old websites are out there. I recently discovered a copy
of Bonnie Neely's site on the Wayback Machine. Her site, "Bonnie's Bedtime
Stories", has four FK stories on it. They feature her own character, a
young woman named Jezebel, who becomes involved with Lacroix.
Two of these stories, "Love Bites" and "Love Bleeds", are in JADFE. The
fourth, "The Gift", is on her website complete with all its parts. However,
the third story, "An Eye for an Eye", was posted in multiple parts; and only
the first three were saved.
Does anyone have a copy of Bonnie Neely's "An Eye for an Eye" that they
could send me? If so, then I can restore her website, for it's otherwise in
excellent condition.
Also, of course, I can finish reading the story!
