Sheryll again:

Hmm... interesting. I don't recall Melissa being a member prior to her recent signing up. In her book she mentions, iirc, that it was a list member who told her about the shipping wars that took place on Main back 'in the day'. To me that indicates her being a non-member, at least up to and including that time period. I can't recall offhand when exactly when the shipping wars took place, since I don't think I took part in the battles. <vbg>

I suppose it is possible she used a pseudonym, but what she wrote in the book indicates otherwise.

Sheryll again:

Please let us know what you think if you do get the book for Christmas!
