Why thank ya, ma'am. Someone sent Nikki a copy of that first con post I did and she wrote and asked if she could include in her book. A touch of fame at last! I've been away and so had to PAY for e-mail access! Gads, that sure puts a crimp in my style. I have been reading my mail and I've been highly entertained and absorbed in the serious Xena discussions going on on this list. It's just about the only list I'm on that still has a head of joyous steam over the show. I want to jump in (okay, butt in) on some of the topics, now that I can laze on line all I want to for free... Anyway, it's great to catch up and find such marvelous posts still being put out there by you guys.

Luckily my virus scan caught it but I wouldn't >want any one I have been communicating with on this list to pik it up. Which virus was attached? Your description could cover hundreds of possibilities. This list is configured so that no attachments can go out to the list at large, so you will not get a virus from a post to chakram-refugees. However, some recent high-profile viruses (most notably Klez-e) operate by changing the "from" header when they proliferate to contain e-mail addresses obtained from the address book of the infected victim, so if you do get a Klez-infected message, it didn't really come from the person it looks like it came from. I should hope it goes without saying that everyone who exchanges email over the Internet should have an updated virus protection program installed and running on their computer at all times. And I would also *highly* recommend not using Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express for email, as the vast majority of e-mail viruses are engineered to exploit the rampant and glaring security flaws riddling Microsoft products. Between home and work, I use the "big two" virus protection programs, Norton Antivirus (http://www.symantec.com) and McAfee VirusScan (http://www.mcafee.com). Norton doesn't frell my computer at home as much as McAfee causes problems with my computer at work, but YMMV. For detecting and keeping up-to-date on the latest virus threats, they both have about the same success rate. And of course I use Eudora for mail at home (I've got no choice but to use Outlook at work, alas). ============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth ============================================== Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ============================================== ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Patrick Fabian as Rafe is certainly hansome enough to attract Xena and the actor has more chemeistry with Lucy that the Ulysses actor. As a side note I think Cameron Rhodes, who played Rafe's sidekick, was in the Lord Of The Ring as the Hobbit who gets killed early in the movie - at least I thought it was him. ROC shows that she is a trooper when she hops around on one foot for the entire episode because of an injury she sufferred on set (I believe a stunt man fell on her duing filming of OAAA). Joxer haters can glean some perverse pleasure from seeing poor Joxer beaten to a pulp. As for the episode itself it was OK. It seems that there was quite a bit of running around to set up a con that doesn't have much of a payoff. We spend the entire episode trying to get the bad guy casino owner into a poker game so Xena can win his establishment and in the end the poker game just concludes in one big fight - I don't even know if the villian lost his gambling house or not. Heck Xena could have just burst into the joint in the first 15 minutes of the episode, knocked everyone around, sent them all off to jail for attempted murder and saved herself a lot of trouble. Also Gabrielle , I'm sure, could have used a little time to nurse her sprain and Joxer, instead of being held at knief point twice by the same guy (a new record I believe). I however did notice that Gabrielle no longer looks concerned when being held at knief point - she just looks annoyed and slightly bored. Homage - The Sting (I didn't like the movie either) That's it for now. CherylA ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
