["Melinda Rackham" <melinda@subtle.net>]

Thankyou to our facilitator Helen Stuckey and guests Anita Johnson, Kipper
from Escape from Woomera Project Team, Troy Innocent, Rebecca Cannon, and
Dr Melanie Swalwell who over the last week have introduced and
comprehensively discussed many fascinating aspects of gaming. As this was
such  a short period of time to cover such complex issues  -empyre- will  be
scheduling another forum on game mods and interventions in the next few
months.
