M&D Posting Rules

[jester]

My 2 cents:

Perhaps we could agree to the following format (taken from suggestions
posted here the past 2 days)...

Proposed Format:

                Example 1:    SUBJECT: M&D (234) Dixon's Folly
                Example 2:    SUBJECT: M&D (121) Divining Rod (Info)

Explanation & Rationale:

                Example 1:  Subject line indicates page number the poster has
                            reached.  The next "term" indicates subject 
                            matter -- can be anything, but is general
                            discussion matter -- in this case, it's discussion
                            of some "Dixon's Folly" (conjecture on my part
--                             not an actual part of the book).

                Example 2:  Subject line also indicates the page number the
                            poster reached, but the "term" indicates that
                            the subject matter of the post is essential back-
                            ground information that could aid the reader.

I hope everyone will consider this format when discussing actual material
contained within the book. I think it'll be farmore effective than the usual
"SPOILER" tag tossed into the post.  Just IMHO.  Comments welcome.

Oh, BTW, Amazon Books.Com is advertising the final cost of the book to be
$18 (that's with a 40% discount).  I know Barnes & Noble will sell it for
$27.50 minus 35% -- something like $18 (and you don't have to pay the
postage).  Anyone deal with Amazon on a regular basis?  How much postage do
they charge?  How long does it take for their delivery?  Curious.
