Higher-Fire Administration stuff

I spake thusly about a *prophecy* based 1ness list:

>> Let me (and or Bro. Richard) know about such a list.  I know at one

>> list where such things as this could be done.  I don't know if I'd be 
>> willing to do a *ministers-only* list, unless it was only the ministers

Then Bro. Richard chimed in:

Yeah... that could be a *really* deep discussion list.
Doctrine, Holiness, History, Prophecy... bible topics
and events.  I kinda look at that list as the "Sanctuary" side 
of a *virtual church* where there's the deeper things of God to 
get into (call it BIBLE-FIRE, HOLY-FIRE, WORD-FIRE, etc.).  
Whereas "Higher-Fire" should be the *Fellowship Hall* side of 
discussions that have a different range.  Pretty much the same
requirements for membership into either.  It's just that the
*deep* list could eventually be like a ministers training 
course in the fact that it really get's down-n-dirty in discussion
and scope of the bible truths which can't be given efficient justice
given a limited number of messages per day on a *fellowship-type*
list (as Higher-Fire is).

That'd be nice.  Anotherwords, if you want a *thankless* job
...heh, heh, heh... (well, not completely thankless... it has
it's moments)... send your name in.

I think they are going to $40 per year per single membership,
$60 per household (unlimited email accounts), reduced priced
membership to those on a restricted income ($15), and I think
free email membership to students of schools that are enrolled
through a program called something like "NetPartners".

Bro Richard and I have briefly discussed *contingencies* in the event
that neither of us are available to actively operate the list.  Like,
for instance, what if both of us are involved in a auto accident on
I-74 going in opposite directions where we both end up meeting each
other
in the air (heavenbound) thereby spending the rest of time with the
Lord.
Who'd get a hold of the Information Provider Co-ordinator (in Illinois)
to temporarily take ownership of such group before a permanent owner(s)
can be established.
