From: Albertus Magnus Area: Mundane To: Frank Mertus 28 Sep 94 12:59:14 Subject: TWID UpdReq *** Quoting Frank Mertus to Albertus Magnus *** FM> Hi, I'm one of those people that you never hear from. Hey there Frank... glad you enjoy the TWID. Sorry there hasn't been one posted more recently, but I post them only when I get them. I find them to be rather comical in a somewhat noire manner. Sometimes they even have some timely social commentary worth checking out. .\lbertus .\.\agnus 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Muralynd Area: Mundane To: Tumbleweed 29 Sep 94 01:22:44 Subject: Tori Amos!

Nothing, but PODS netmail is direct not routed. What that means to sysops is that PODS netmail calls the adreess directly instead of sending it through the regular paths.

I've quoted your entire post that was addressed to Dee, I believe, in error. It should have been directed towards one with the initials "TBD" who was complaining to Albertus that TWID, etc., was not of interest to the budding magician. Yes, Dee did respond in Metaphysical regarding TBD's post ... but to yell at the last child to misbehave does nothing to correct the first one :) (BIG GRIN) Now -- since the MNET trio was the basis of PODS, why don't you or someone else who was around at that point write up a history of PODS and post it in Meta? Also -- might not Meta be an appropriate place for postings of PODS policy, echo rules, etc. (yes, I realize that they may not be of "magazine quality" but little else posted in Meta has been for the past several months, either), so that everyone could see them ?

He wrote several volumes of poetry, the most well-known of which is _The Prophet_. A personal favorite of mine, along with his _The Madman_. His work is frequently reprinted, and available at larger book chains, such as B. Dalton, Walden Books, Barnes & Noble, etc. Bright blessings, Herb ... let there spaces in your togetherness (K.
