First, I appreciate the kind words, thanks! Just to be clear, in setting this up I had no desire to take away any traffic from the Mailing List. I just thought that some people might prefer this format, and that it would be easier for newbies to Tekumel to join in the discussion, or indeed just read the posts as a guest. And it's a more 'public' discussion than the List. It seems to me the two can co-exist happily.
And I now feel a bit weird about choosing Ksarul as user name, mainly because 'The Blue Room' - the venerable, now-defunct Mailing List that I'm still in the process of reformatting for tekumel.com - is such a Tekumel institution, and 'Lord of the Blue Room' makes me think of Chris Davis, the moderator of that List.
Oh well, don't mean to steal your thunder Chris, if you're reading!
