On missing entries

Stories were automatically assigned a serial code as they arrived. Among other things, this code was used to form page names. If you try to go through the entries in order, you'll find a few missing. So what happened to them?

On categories

The categories listed with the stories are those assigned by the author, even when it's not an official category (Erotic, Humor). Where no category was given, I've listed them as Unclassified.

On author names and addresses

In most cases these are taken directly form the From: header of the entry as it reached my. Exceptions are:

• Name and address pairs not in the standard form
  Ann Example <ann@example.com>
  have been converted to it. Quotes in the name portion have been deleted, even where they would be required in mail or news.
• Clearly invalid addresses have been deleted, leaving only the name.
• When the From: header contained only an address and there was a name in the body that wasn't the same as the username part of the address, that name has been added to the author line.
• Where an author has used slightly different From: headers in different entries, I have picked one (generally the first one used) and applied it to all of their entries.
