ADMIN: "Elvish Is King!" - meet our new List Elves

[Neil Ward]

## Resounding thunder clap and puff of green smoke..##

Flying Ford Anglia steps through the fug wearing a quilted, lilac smoking
jacket and Muggle crash helmet marked "Boyracer".

Attention list members...

At the risk of triggering an uprising in the SPEW faction, your Magical
Moderators have hired a team of List Elves to help Newbies find their feet
on the list.  It will be the Elves' duty to greet new members and become
their trusted Elf Friend. Aware from the glare of the list, they will hold
hands, give tips, point at files and offer support - all for nine Knuts a
week, a sack on the floor and all the tripe they can eat.

With the help of the List Elves, Newbies should have no trouble avoiding the
bolder forces of Madam Linsenmayer, Professor Flanagan, Warlock Walton,
and - ahem - my good self.  Every new member will be assigned a personal Elf
and may find one sitting on their bed, looking rather unfortunate, and
wringing their hands.  Don't be alarmed.  They are there to guide you, not
to chide you.

The List Elves have their own perfectly adequate quarters
thank-you-very-much in the Disused Dungeon.  All *new* members requiring
assistance should knock three times on the oak door marked:

And now, if I may, a short verse in merry medieval song ## clears throat ##

"Cats have nine lives
And we have nine elves
So, here they all are
(They'll intro themselves)"

LIST ELVES

Heidi Tandy (Elf Mom) - Elf Heidy
Rainy Lilac (Suzanne) - Elf Rainy
Joy (not Joywitch, the other Joy) - Elf Joysy

Simon (the man of many parts) - Elf Simey
Michelle Apostolides - Elf Shelly
Jen Faulkner - Elf Jenny
Amanda Lewanski - Elf Mandy

... and don't they look as cute as ninepence in their assorted pillowcases,
tea towels and old socks?

a bit bow-legged and its face looked grumpy and oddly
squashed, as though it had run headlong into a brick wall"
