OT: Re: Awfa, moving on; the trouble with eScribe, and Exquisite

["kimbertvs" <kacoe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, on June 10, 2000...I started a yahoo group called I KIND OF 
LOVE YOU. For fic only. No OT's or discussions or such. It never 
really caught on.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ikindofloveyou/

::shrug::

just so you know. I suppose I could reset the topic if anyone is 
interested in using the group as something else. and I agree, 
EScribe can be a biotch.
