<snip Carolyn's message>

I did a Yahoomort search on her (her handle is a_reader2003 in case anyone 
else is interested).  Her style is good, and if she's this interested so early on 
then she may be a valuable asset.  My only problem is that she's been a member 
for less then three months.  Now, obviously this would disqualify her from being 
a list elf, but is it that important in an FP writer?

I was thinking of writing her something like this:

Carolyn,

You know you should always be careful about making suggestions to 
management, right?  You'll end up carrying them out yourself.  

I'm writing on behalf of the HPfGU FAQ team.  We're in charge of writing the 
essays on the Fantastic Posts website.  Your message regarding a possible 
cataloguing of HPfGU's posts was forwarded to us by the list admins, as 
someone who might like to join us.  We have in fact already implemented 
something similar to what you suggested - a cataloguing of some 30,000 
messages according to topic terms.  We use that catalogue to identify posts 
which are later used in FP essays.  We were wondering if you'd like to join us 
in writing these essays, a task that has become doubly important following 
the release of OOP.

If this sounds like something you might enjoy doing, send me a reply and I'll 
send you an invite.

Yeah, it needs work.  Any suggestions?

Regarding Maria, she's been a member for quite some time, and also writes well.  
I'm not sure exactly how she got to us or why she wants to join.  Does anyone 
want me to ask her, or should I just approve her membership?
