[MR] Stefan's files for January

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings,

Here is a copy of my monthly Florilegium article for January, detailing what 
is new in the Florilegium this month.

I attempt to sent this to all of the Kingdom mail lists as well as a few 
others each month. Because of increased anti-spam activities over the past 
few years, I can not always send this directly to all of these lists. In 
those cases, I depend upon deputies in those kingdoms, who get this article 
by email, to pass it on to the lists. Looking at my records, it looks like 
some of the email to these deputies is bouncing and I don't have any 
deputies for some kingdoms. Here are the kingdom lists I am having problems 
with. If you are one of my deputies and your email has changed, please 
contact me. If a list doesn't have a deputy, and you are interested in doing 
this, please contact me.

Also, I would like to have a backup deputy for each list. These folks would 
also get my article by email, but hold off sending it until they see that 
the regular deputy hasn't posted it. I'm trying to not bombard a list with 
multiple messages, yet get the article to the folks on those lists. If you 
are interested in helping out in this way, again please contact me.
Artemsia - need a deputy
Atenveldt - was being done by Baroness Christy, but it is bouncing
Ealdormere - need a deputy
Middle Kingdom - was being done by kahlen, but it is bouncing
West Kingdom - was being done by Baroness Christy, but her email is bouncing

Thank you for everyone who is working as my deputy for a list. I'm sorry 
that the increasing amount of spam is making these anti-spam measures 
needed. Personally, I think many of the punishments mentioned in the 
punishments-msg file in the Florilegium might be appropriate for any 
convicted spammers.

As usual, if you have any comments, complaints or suggestions about the 
Florilegium please feel free to contact me.

Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past fourteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting 
bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and articles 
submitted to me by their authors. In order to make this information 
available to others, I have placed this information in a series of files I 
call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article that 
would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me for possible 
inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for more details.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping me 
maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials, editing and 
web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more details.
