Great!!

Even better! I'm glad everyone gets to be in on it.

Better still! Except... well, I won't be here in two weeks... but I'll be
back afterwards, and I'll do my best to check lugnet from Israel while I'm gone.

Sounds good, although I can't wait to see what it *is*!

Sounds good, again...

A question that was raised to me in some friendly discussion was, what
happens if two adjacent realms suddenly don't want to be adjancent, or two
faraway realms suddenly want to be adjacant. Or, does every realm have its
own map? Just curious, and these questions can wait till we see the map, but
if you can answer them, by all means, go ahead.

<grin> Nothing is sacred, huh? ;-)
Actually, I'm glad you said that, though. I think that the map should, by
*no* means, be a turn-off to people who don't want to participate in that
part of CW.

Fersure!

Huh? Slideshow? Did I miss something?

Umm, not clear yet on what all you're saying, but hey, this sounds good,
too. ;-)

Hmmm! Confused by this statement as well. ;-)
