[Artemisia] test

[Elaine Higgins]

This discussion needs to take place on Facebook, to make those who use it
exclusively realize that 1) it's not official, and 2) the Aerie is a good
thing, and it would be a shame for it to entirely go away.  The Aerie needs
to be maintained, and that fact needs to be publicized (unfortunately) on
Facebook.  Those few of us who still look for information on the Aerie
should be able to find it here!, and believe it or not, I know there are
still some souls who refuse to use Facebook.
   As a Chronicler, I'm finding that when I send out our Shire newsletter
(via e-mail), that I then have to post a notice to that effect on Facebook
in order for some of our Shire folk to even know I sent it.
