While both Baldrick and Ruby are correct to give Rodent an ear bashing, I
suspect little harm will come of his question. First, I suspect most
people frequenting each of those groups know about the other groups.
Second, all three are identified by the key letters "ls". Anyone with half
a brain and with knowledge of these series will find them in about 2
minutes, as I did...
That said, it is NEVER a good idea to speak openly of other groups. For
example, I will almost cetainly have overlooked some very obvious fact in
my above statement. Anyway. loose finger syndrome can become at habit...
Saftey first!
