As far as I can find out, there's no FTP site.  However,
eoin@xocolatl.com (John Snyder) runs a mailserver (I think it's
mail_server@xocolatl.com) with a whole load of filk stuff, and I run one
with a limited amount (it will be more when I finish writing the program
to access it!) at mailserver@keris.demon.co.uk.

Mine certainly will respond to HELP and DIR commands - I think xocolatl
uses INDEX instead of DIR to get a list.

If you do find an FTP site, please post it here, because other people
would like to know...

Yup...Kitty upgraded to a new modem---which promptly gave her no end of
trouble. Right now it only accepts ZModem downloads, and you have to log on
via the Telix commo prog. Argh. Still, she's working the bugs out as best she
can...BTW, just so's this is on-topic (an' I've been meaning to ask you
anyway), any word on the "Jabberwocky in Toontown" story? Did it get picked
up or is it valiantly providing wholesome decor for various parakeets? Wired

As I understand it, names and arms are registered separately.  An AoA is
not needed for registration (and some people receive their AoA before
registering either name or arms) - it's purely an award (and the first
level of 'rank').  The name and arms stay registered as long as you pay
your membership dues.

Yes.  I did and it's in a FILKFILE somewhere as I thought of it as a one-off

I found this song at a SCA tourney, but was unable to get all the words.
Does anyone out there know the rest of the words to this song?

		Loot and Plunder
	(tune:  Supercalifraga.....<its from Mary Poppins>)

Oh, when I was a younger lad I roamed the kingdom 'round.
In inns and houses everywhere my money could be found.
Then one day I found a way to say my dwindling purse.
The easiest way that some would but some would say the worst.

CHORUS:	Oh, loot and plunder, rape and kill,  but all in moderation.
	If you take this sound advice, you'll soon rule all the nations.
	First you kill your enemies and then do their relations.
	Loot and plunder, rape and kill, but all in moderation.


That is all I know.  If anyone knows anymore, including who originally
filked it, please let me know.

You mention the "Off Centaur" group and it sounded as if they folded.  Is this 
true and if so, how can I get backup copies?

Not yet f-t-f. But I still rib her enough across the echoes to think of that
as "in person", i.e. in her immediate view -- as opposed to second-hand or via 
relay...

Uh, you sure you mean 1992?  1993 would *seem* more appropriate.

Just another comment. :)
I can understand someone getting itchy enough to want to clean up a mucky
version of a post, but ADAPTING it is another thing altogether. I remember
someone who once put the Declaration of Independence through a grammer checker,
and found over 17 errors, which the program changed.
