Here's what I propose we do. We do need to create a new list rather than invade someone elses. And I think it would be in everone's best interests to stick with xmission since it has worked so well for us so far. Since the majority of people are in favor of me starting the new list (along with Little Willow if she's still interested) I will head this up. I will go to xmission and get the new list up and running. I will work out getting list managers and all. What I need from everyone on the list is for everyone to calm down and enjoy the lst few weeks of this list. Let a little time go bye for everyone to find out what's what. In the last week this list is online I will post all the new information on who/what/when/where/why/how of the replacement list. This will be the best way to do it because: It will give me time to get me and the other new listmoms ducks in a row and get the list ready. It would cause mass confusion to start signing up for the new list right now. Everyone will have heard what's going on and will be ready to make the switch (if they so choose). Now everyone just please calm down. You will be notified on how to get on the new list at the appropriate time. And please don't everyone keep starting new lists and new lists. LET THIS ONE BE THE ONE WE *ALL* SWITCH TO so we can keep the list together. Thank you very much and I will appreciate your cooperation.

From the looks of recent posts, it seems that most of us want to stay together. I know that I do not want to join another list unless it has the people who post the quote lists, the spoilers from the WB presses, the ratings, and the other Canadian spoilers, just to name a few. So far the best option seems to be having all of us regroup on Ryan and Little Willow`s list. But we should wait and hear what everyone else wants to do. After all, we still have a few weeks to decide.

Anyways, so I was thinking (wow!) and I read a book a few days ago, it was a buffy book but one that was not word for word and only based on the t.v show. It was actually pretty good, not as good as the show, but pretty good. Anyways, one of the new charecters in this book was visited by a vampire and he was surprised that the vampire had been able to get in without an invitation. So, he came up with the theory that because the vampire was so old, he had been invited in by a former occupant of the rented cottage. Maybe that's what happened with Faith's cheap motel room. The cloven hoofed guy (sorry, at total loss for his name right now) was invited in by a previous vistor to the room. Just a few idle thoughts from.....

Why compare the First to GOD and >Whistler to satan!?! IMO, I don't see any logic in the above post. I'll try expanding a bit. On Buffy, Joss has done versions of older stories, but with a good/evil reversal. "The Wish" and "Amends" are versions of "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol". However, the supernatural forces are evil instead of good, trying to cause trouble (in "Amends" getting Angel to turn evil or commit suicide), instead of trying to help people (turning Scrooge good in "Carol" or keeping George Bailey from committing suicide in "Wonderful Life"). You can compare Anya-demon to Clarence the Angel, and the First's Jenny and other ghosts to the Christmas ghosts that visit Scrooge; they play similar roles, only they're evil instead of good. So, consider the background of the Buffyverse as Joss taking the Satan story and doing a similar good/evil reversal. In the dawn of time, humans live under the control of an ancient, established authority and its followers, until some of those followers rebel against that authority. The First is the established authority, like God is; Whistler is the rebellious follower, like Satan is. It's just, in the Buffyverse, instead of the authority being good (God) and the rebellious follower being evil (Satan), the authority is evil (the First), while the rebel is good (Whistler). The parallel explains Whister's rather peculiar nature, "a demon but not all demons are bad"; he's a rebellious demon-turned-good, the counterpart of Satan's being a rebellious fallen angel. And consider that "the victors write the history books". In both the Satan story and the Buffyverse, the good guys won, but how would it be portrayed if the bad guys were writing it? Satanic propaganda about God as a tyrant ruling the world and Satan as a heroic freedom fighter might sound rather like Giles' description of the ancient demons being overthrown. And if the First and his demons had defeated rebellious demons like Whistler, but Whistler still refused to serve the First and was banished to the other dimension for it, Whistler might be portrayed as a rebellious Satan figure motivated by ambition, who'd rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven. - - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1999 22:43:49 EST From: PalOBuffys@aol.com Subject: Re: Keeping (Re: BUFFY: PlanetX Buffy List (and Buffy Watchers List)) In a message dated 1/7/99 12:45:53 PM Pacific Standard Time, whtrose@eskimo.com writes: > Considering that all of the Keeper maintainers are on 1 or more of the > lists (this one, planetx, mlists, etc), and keep a very close eye on the > keepers on each list, there shouldn't be any overlapping, unless they are > false keepers.

Sonja Marie is quite right with the above statement: the Keeper Sites, all of them as listed at the Keeper index page (meaning the REAL Keeper Sites) have always crossed over between all the various lists, and many of us even have items kept by people who just stumbled onto our pages and have never heard of xmission, planetx, or any other list.

The termination of the present mailing list is generating tons of mail, most of it concerned with how we can all stick together on another mailing list. The idea of creating a new mailing list sounds good. The idea of everyone joining an existing mailing list sounds like it has caused trouble in the past. Someone mentioned that if 300 (Jill are there at least 300 subscribers here?) people suddenly join a new mailing list and start up conversations about 'How great to be here together' it could cause conflict and the older list members might feel invaded.
