I am so glad that i found this group...I know this sounds really cheezy but this is so cool. I have to admit that when Buffy first came out- I was actually one of the ones to make fun of it. But then I saw a couple of shows and now i am hooked! I was looking all of your web pages and i think they're great Unfortunately i missed some of the best episodes: "Angel," "Prophesy Girl" (sp.). Oh well, at least i was able to read those summaries offered on the web sites. Ummm...i was wondering: does anyone agree with me that Xander makes a great bad guy in "The Pack". This was actually the episode that got me hooked! Anyway. Phenox@bigfoot.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Jul 1997 22:21:14 -0400 From: everclear03@juno.com (Annie L.)

SPOILERS This applies to anyone responding to the comic con transcript. USE SPOILER SPACE!!!!!! I HATE BEING SPOILED FOR BUFFY!!!!!! And I already have been because people haven't been paying attention, and I'm getting really cranky about it. Especially since I've posted repeated reminders in the last couple of days. OK, I'm done shouting, but I really mean it and will start taking action. The following constitutes a spoiler (since it comes from Joss and Co.), even if it can't necessarily be confirmed at this time. This includes: 1. The thread about what might happen to Xander. 2. The thread about what's up with The Master. 3. Any thread involving upcoming information about the series that comes from Joss, etc., (i.e. the comic con transcript). I think I'm really sorry I gave the go ahead to have that transcript posted. I purposely didn't read it because I didn't want to be spoiled, but I figured others would like to read it. I certainly will think twice about transcripts in the future, particularly if they containt spoilers. So just remember to put in spoiler protection. Otherwise you'll be hearing from me. - --sah - -- sah * romana@mindspring.com * romana@aol.com The Buffy Mailing List page: http://www.mindspring.com/~romana/buffylist/ "Be a Nazi, be a hypocrite, be a dictator, be a kitten killer, just don't be a Republican." ---Alora ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 Aug 1997 10:35:24 -0400 From: sah Subject: BUFFY: ADMIN: List rules Everyone, please review these, particularly the rules about spoiler protection. - --sah ***** Here's the periodic posting of the list rules Please review, or make sure you have an updated copy of them saved on your hard drive. The Buffy Mailing List Page is located at http://www.mindspring.com/~romana/buffylist/index.html. There you can find the status, rules, archive, etc. It also has instructions for s*bscribing/uns*bscribing. As always, please direct any questions offlist to Jill and/or me. *** Welcome! This list is for discussion of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," both the TV series and the movie. Because we want this list to be a great place to talk about "Buffy," we are setting up a few ground rules. If you've ever been involved in a discussion list, many of these rules will look familiar. Hopefully, they'll make list life more interesting (and more fun) for everyone. 1. Keep posts on topic. Topics should be related to Buffy the series, Buffy the movie, the actors involved in either project, etc.. Discussion of vampires in other universes is fine as long as they're being discussed in relation to the Buffy universe. 2. Please be careful with the use of strong imagery or language in consideration of younger list members. Think "rated PG." 3. No advertising of non-Buffy related items or services. If you want to post information about Buffy-related merchandise, conventions, etc., clear it through one of us first. Also, no binary files of any sort (including images, wavs, MOVs, etc) or attachments. 4. Please don't post fiction to this list. There will be a separate Buffy fic list set up soon. 5. If you get advance information on a new episode, or see an episode earlier than the national viewing time, and you want to post about it, please do the following: **Mark the post as a "spoiler" in the subject header. **Leave about twelve lines (with non-spoiler info blank or periods) at the top of the post. This ensures that anyone who doesn't like knowing about an episode ahead of time is "protected." :) The blank space is for people whose mailers automatically open up the next piece of mail, without giving them a chance to see "spoiler" in the header. Spoiler warnings are not necessary after the start of the episode's national viewing time, which is currently set at 9 p.m. Mondays, US Eastern Standard Time. Spoiler warnings are not necessary for reruns. Spoiler protection is required after the US airing and before the Canadian airing. Spoiler protection is also required for speculation, though some people include it out of courtesy. 6. Most importantly, there will be ABSOLUTELY NO FLAMING ONLIST. We have absolutely zero tolerance for this kind of behaviour. Flames can kill a list, permanently damage relationships, and make life a lot less fun for everyone. What's a flame? NOT A FLAME: "I don't think so-and-so is a very good actor." FLAME: "So-and-so is a twit who can't act and has no brain." Broadly defined, a flame is a personally derogatory, inflammatory comment about another list member, their progenitors, or about any of the actors, writers, directors, producers or crew of "Buffy." Disagreements-- even heated ones-- are expected. But the minute you start slamming someone personally, you will face the Wrath of Jill and Sharon. First offense: offender is uns*bscribed for one week. Second offense: offender is uns*bscribed to the Buffy list for a minimum of three months. If the offender returns and flames again, they're offlist permanently. And no, it doesn't matter that the actors, writers, etc. from "Buffy" aren't onlist; we won't put up with anyone flaming them anyway. There are slander laws against it. It's also common courtesy. Determination of what is (and what is not) a flame is made by the listowners, and their decisions are final. Determinations of any penalties associated with flames are also made by the listowners, and their decisions are final. 7. Related to #6, the listowners reserve the right to "kill" any discussion threads which either of the listowners deem offensive, or which appear to be degenerating into a flame war. If either one of us declares a topic "dead," it's dead. Anyone who continues the discussion thread, against our express wishes, will be immediately unsubbed for one week. 8. Quoted material (usually denoted by > for each line or >> << around the quoted bits) should be edited to FOUR LINES MAXIMUM for each point in the previous post you are addressing. Penalties for overquoting are as follows: First offense: You will receive an offlist warning message from the listowners (with "WARNING: Overquoting" as the subject). I include a return receipt so that I'm certain you've actually received the post. Second offense: You will be uns*bscribed from the list for one week. You will be notified that you are being uns*bscribed, and why you are being uns*bscribed. 9. Your .sig may be up to 6 lines, but must not exceed that length. Penalties for violations are the same as for #8. 10. And last, but not least, we reserve the right to deny subscription (new, renewed, or continued) to the list for any individual(s). IF YOU'RE S*BSCRIBED TO THE REGULAR BUFFY LIST AND WISH TO CHANGE TO DIGEST: You need to uns*bscribe from the Buffy list, and res*bscribe to the digest. (In all the examples below, please replace the character "*" with a "u"-- majordomo will bounce this post if I don't mask that word; it'll read it as an administrative request). Send a message to majordomo@xmission.com In the body of the message, put uns*bscribe buffy Then, send a second message to majordomo@xmission.com In the body of the message, put s*bscribe buffy-digest You'll go through the same approval process that you got when you subbed to the regular Buffy list. If you're s*bscribed to the digest version, and want to change to regular mail, do the opposite-- unsub from buffy-digest, and resub to buffy. Again, welcome! If you have any questions about these rules, please contact either one of us offlist. If you have subscription problems or questions, the fastest way to get help is to e-mail one of us at the addresses below, at the kirby@xmission.com addy which is the "official" e-mail owner of the list.

In addition to the list rules, here are a few suggestions that are established netiquette. These aren't rules per se, but Jill and I would like listmembers to observe them anyway. Basically, the common theme of all these suggestions involve wasted bandwidth. Most of you I think will agree that keeping that to a minimum is a necessary thing on the buffy list due to the high traffic. NETIQUETTE 1. When in doubt, and particularly when something is off topic, take it to private email. Since the reply to on the list is set up to automatically go to Buffy, Jill and I are well aware that mistakes will happen from time to time. If it does, you'll probably get a note from one of us about it. If you do happen to make a mistake, there's no need to post to the list apologizing, since that also is a waste of bandwidth. Going to private should be your first choice. If you do post something off topic to the list please include an ObBuffy in your post. For those of you wondering what an "ObBuffy" is, it stands for "Oblicatory Buffy" meaning that you include some comment, observation, etc., about Buffy the Vampire Slayer to an otherwise off-topic post. 2. Please, no one line "this is a test" posts. If you think there's a problem with the list, please take one or more of the following steps. a. Write to either me or Jill (romana@mindspring.com or jtkirby@mcs.com) and tell us what you think the problem is. We'll answer you ASAP. b. Send a s*bscribe note to majordomo@xmission.com since you may have been uns*bscribed due to bouncing. If you aren't s*bscribed, that'll resub you; if you are s*bscribed, you'll get a note back saying you're still on the list. c. If you *must* send a test post (and this should only be as a last resort) please make it a post relating to buffy. 3. No "me too" posts. Those should go private, or should include more discussion. 4. At a bare minimum, please sign and place your email address at the end of each post if you don't have a .sig. This makes it easier for people to contact you privately if they need to. Some people's mailers strip out the headers with this information which is why you should include it in the body of your email. 5. Please make sure you properly attribute quotes when replying to previous posts. HOUSEKEEPING Remember, if you're going away on vacation, or losing access to a particular account, uns*bscribe from buffy. If you receive too much mail that goes unanswered, messages start bouncing to the administrative address for each post sent to buffy. Unsubscribing keeps us happy, keeps your mailbox clean, and keeps your ISP happy, too. Also, since it's not clear, the address for the list is buffy@xmission.com, whether you're on the regular list or on digest. I think that's about it. Back to your regularly scheduled Buffy discussion. :-) sah & Jill - -- sah * romana@mindspring.com * romana@aol.com The Buffy Mailing List page: http://www.mindspring.com/~romana/buffylist/ "Be a Nazi, be a hypocrite, be a dictator, be a kitten killer, just don't be a Republican." ---Alora ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 Aug 1997 10:38:44 -0400 From: sah Subject: BUFFY: ADMIN: Housekeeping From time to time (and this depends largely on your ISP), we have to uns*bscribe people from the list. This is almost always due to some technical problem with your ISP. When it happens, we can't get a message to you to tell you what's happened; you'll just stop receiving list mail. It can be for one of the following reasons. MAILBOX FULL This affects AOL users more than anyone. If you are an AOL user, and you don't get to check your mailbox at least once a day, it fills up, and things start bouncing back to us. If it happens a lot, or you know you won't be able to check your email at least once a day please consider switching to digest. SERVICE UNAVAILABLE Sometimes ISPs go down for no reason. Hotmail was having problems with this, though not recently (knock wood). Juno also seems to go down from time to time, as does usa.net. If we get a lot of bounces back saying there's a local configuration error or the service is unavailable, we uns*bscribe you. LOCAL CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS Some ISPs put in their machine name in the outgoing messages, even though it isn't part of your regular email address. This doesn't affect that many people, but it might affect someone if changes are made to their local ISP. Unlike a listserv which has a NO MAIL function, majordomo doesn't, which means that I don't know that there's any way around this problem right now. I'm checking into it. NOTE: I usually don't uns*bscribe someone unless I get at least three bounces from their address. ***YOU WILL NEVER BE UNSUBSCRIBED FOR VIOLATING LIST RULES WITHOUT BEING CONTACTED BY US. If you've been suddenly unsubscribed and haven't heard from either of us, it's due to a technical problem. ***** IF YOU STOP RECEIVING LISTMAIL 1. Contact me or Jill at romana@mindspring.com or jtkirby@mcs.com. 2. Send a s*bscribe buffy command to majordomo@xmission.com 3. DO NOT send a test post to the list. MISCELLANEOUS Some of you might notice that your posts don't always go through. That could be for several reasons. 1. You had administrative words in your post, such as s*bscribe or h*lp. Those bounce to the administrative address, so try masking those words. 2. You tried to post from an address other than the one you have subscribed. We've got the list configured so that only members can post to prevent spamming and trolls from doing stupid things. 3. Sometimes xmission does weird things. I sometimes will post two things in quick succession, and only one will drop. The other will take hours or days to drop. If something hasn't dropped in a few hours and it's timely or important, check with either me or Jill for permission to repost it to the list. sah - -- sah * romana@mindspring.com * romana@aol.com The Buffy Mailing List page: http://www.mindspring.com/~romana/buffylist/ "Be a Nazi, be a hypocrite, be a dictator, be a kitten killer, just don't be a Republican." ---Alora ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Aug 1997 11:27:58 -0400 (EDT) From: ID4FAN96@aol.com Subject: Re: BUFFY: Do they answer their fans Great.

Hi all, I have added 11 more URLS to my Buffy Links Page at: http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/7728/btvsurls.html There is now 201 pages listed! They are at the top of the page. I've removed 1 dead link. And if you are so inclined, PLEASE sign my guestbook! If you have a page for the show or cast members and IT IS NOT LISTED already, please send me the URLS and I will add them. - --- I've totally redid my links site and they will be up (Geocities Willing) in a day or so. Right now I'm putting them on Eskimo, so that if anyone wants to Volunteer to look at them and give me feedback on them, email me PRIVATELY and I'll give you those temp URLS and the rest of the info. I need to do a few more things to make them viewable since most of the pics are on Geocities. - --- Speaking of Geocities (and I do have a few choice words for them I might add!), after I sent a note to them letting them know I was having problems with FTP, I tried again and it worked! So I was able to get the the Thurs (Fri) Update uploaded, but when I tried to get some other things online, it bumped me off, and not I can't get in again. GRR ARGH! Later!

(Like rounding up the kids lounging in the quad who just ate your mascot, for example.) So if Snyder became a vampire, he'd be very unlikely to continue as principle, don'tcha think? Mind, I haven't met Snyder yet (hint, hint to my friend who's copying the second half of the season for me ) but that doesn't really make a difference in this case. >> Well Snyder hates kids and if he turns into a vampire he can show his hate by eating them. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Aug 1997 10:12:00 -0700 From: "SCOTT WOODARD@warnerbros.com" Subject: BUFFY: Off-Topic... slightly... I know this is off-topic, but I can think of no better group to tell about it than you! I know there are a lot of list subscribers here who dig Buffy because she's a tough, female hero! I know, also, that many of you are fans of other female heros, ala Xena, etc. For those interested, we will be premiering a new animated series on Kids' WB! in the fall called The Legend of Calamity Jane. There will be a sneak preview of the show this weekend during The Daffy Duck Show and I strongly urge all those animation fans and fans of female heros to tune in and check it out. The preview is only a couple minutes, but it will give you an idea of the tone, quality of animation, etc. It looks great! We will be showing this sneak preview during other Kids' WB! shows over the next few weeks, as well. So eventhough it's off-topic, it still mentions Buffy and talks about The WB. So there!

Thanks for the tip, Scott (don't worry, you made it relevant enough ).
