Notes on the FAQS and PIPS:
Admisistrivia from Remus:
9/16/96
All right...I've taken all of the contributions sent to me and
rolled them into the FAQs. Thanks to everyone who provided information.
First, let's talk about Contributors. Whenever someone asked to be
mentioned as a contributor, or I asked them and they agreed, I added their
net name and address. I did not have time to ask everybody, however...so
if you sent in a contribution and you would like to be listed, or your name
is in there and you don't want to be listed, please let me know as soon as
possible.
Second...who wants a copy? On my list of people to whom I should send
the updated FAQs is Stasya and Valadan. If anyone else wants a copy of
the FAQs, let me know and I'll send them to you.
Next, let's go through the Changes --
One big change was made to the Main FAQ: The removal of information
on the anon.penet.fi server, which was recently closed down. :( I have
tried to fill the space with useful information about other anonymous
posting services and other alternatives. Hopefully this info will help.
Changes to the Music and Art PIP --
The Music and Art PIP is expanding at an exponential rate, thanks to
everyone who sent in contributions. Many additions, here...I especially
like some of the foreign film reviews that were sent to me. I also
reformatted the document to get rid of that difficult-to-edit numbering
scheme.
Changes to the Bibliography PIP --
Some good additions here, including publishing information on
Nancy Friday's works...but I'd like to have more info on these classic
fiction stories, if possible.
Changes to the Health PIP --
Grateful thanks go out to the person who sent me so much new information
on Intestinal Parasites and Skin Conditions...are you *sure* you don't
want to be listed as a contributor? Those sections have been completely
re-written.
The entry for FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) has been removed;
I've been told that disease is not contagious to humans.
Something makes me wonder, though...what is 'cat-scratch fever'? People
scratched by a stray cat can come down with a flu-like infection. I
thought that FIP was the explanation, but apparently it is not. Any
info on this would be appreciated.
An additional section on Respiratory Infections has been added, with
information supplied by 'Angelo'. There doesn't appear to be many health
risks in this section...but if anyone has any more info to add here, I'll
put it in.
Changes to the Law PIP --
A law classifying bestiality as "Sexual Assault in the fourth degree"
was discovered in a Connecticut journal from 1985. The PIP had listed
*no* laws against bestiality in Connecticut...meaning that the law either
no longer exists, or that it was missed when Connecticut was researched.
To be on the safe side, I added the law to the PIP, with a note that
it existed at least until 1985. If anyone has any current knowledge of
Connecticut law, and whether or not this law is still in force, please
contact me.
One other change -- someone researched Mexican laws, and found none
against bestiality. Fiesta time, south of the border... ;)
And the Big Change (Drumroll please... :) ) --
We now have a Dolphin How-To FAQ! I was against the idea of a
Dolphin How-To, because I believed these animals were mostly just
material for fantasies...but Dragon-wolfe Dolphinn, and his
extensive knowledge of the subject, convinced me. The Dolphin PIP
will be posted on the 26th...it's worth the wait. :)
As usual, any suggestions, contributions, gripes and general small talk
will be happily handled with extreme slowness by your harried FAQ keeper. ;)
Thanks again to everyone who sent in contributions...hope you enjoy the FAQs.
