hi I found it thisa week on fox and then maybe on channel 38 so check
it out Mary I found this on line on tv guide site
You saw it listed for both WFTX/25 and WSBK/38? What day/time? When
I did a search on the TVGuide site it gave no listings at all for
Queen Of Swords for the Boston area. So if anyone knows any specifics
about it now being on a different station now that WHUB is toast,
it'd be good to hear about it.

(updated 8/1/00) HIGHLA-L Bi-Monthly Reminders
The address to send your LISTSERV commands to is
LISTSERV@LISTS.PSU.EDU. The listowner can be contacted at
ddoug@CATRIO.ORG
If your posts to HIGHLA-L are being "submitted to the moderator of the
HIGHLA-L list" please check out the section below titled "WHAT TO DO
IF THE LISTSERV SAYS YOU ARE NOT SUBSCRIBED TO HIGHLA-L:"
-----
All of you received the Membership Rules when you first subscribed to
this list so I'm not going to repeat them here but I will hit a few
high points. Also included is a few LISTSERV commands to change your
subscription to this list.
No Flaming Is Allowed. (see note)
We have strict Spoiler Rules for the current first-run season.
Please don't post a message about any current season episode until
after you have read the Welcome message (this contains all the
rules).
This is a -private- mailing list. Do not forward information posted
on this mailing list without the -original- author's permission.
ALL ADS listing items for SALE, no matter how minor, MUST be cleared
through the list owner FIRST.
NOTE:
Flaming: adj. (possible origin: Webster's 3.intensely emotional;
ardent; passionate) Usage on Internet: intensely emotional and very
derogatory remarks about an individual, a group, or a dearly held
belief system (religious beliefs, politics, sexual orientation,
certain TV series, etc.). To insult, treat with scorn or great
disrespect.
Flame remarks are usually empty of any actual facts, just
emotionally charged opinions and sometimes obscenities.
Flame-bait: derivative of Flaming (see above). Any remark, which in
itself does not qualify as a Flame, but because of trigger words,
irritating adjectives or phrases (usually used in a rude manner) is
almost always guaranteed to elicit Flames from people who read the
message.
END NOTE
BUT REMEMBER:
Disagreements make for lively debate,
and lively debate is what keeps this list
INTERESTING!!!
Do NOT send any 'public service announcements' unless they are related
to Highlander. BTW if you receive a computer virus report check it
against <http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html> before passing it
on.
********************************************
HOAXES, VIRUS WARNINGS, SPAM OF ANY TYPE,
INCLUDING SALES, CHAIN LETTERS AND DONATION
REQUESTS, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED ON
HIGHLA-L or HLFIC-L.
********************************************
Do NOT post 'test' messages. If you aren't receiving mail from the
list, send email to ME and I'll look into it.
To send a message to the group, simply address it to
HIGHLA-L@LISTS.psu.edu. Also, you should be able to reply to any
message from the list as you would normally reply to a message from a
single person.
If your messages are not being posted to the LIST, check to make sure
that you are NOT including the message headers from any message that
you might be replying to. A message that contains (in the body of the
message) any unaltered email header that includes the address
of the list will be bounce to the errors queue.
<<Sender: HIGHLA-L@LISTS.PSU.EDU (Highlander movies and TV series)
<<Reply-to: HIGHLA-L@LISTS.PSU.EDU (Highlander movies and TV series)
<<To: HIGHLA-L@LISTS.PSU.EDU (Multiple recipients of list HIGHLA-L)
The reason that these didn't blow up this message is because I
preceded them with '<<' on each line.
As LIST-owner, I reserve the right to remove anyone from the list who
violates the rules (they are in the Welcome message that you will
receive when you subscribe).
USEFUL LISTSERV COMMANDS
To change your subscription options to stop receiving the list of a
period of time (i.e. for a vacation or finals week): send mail to
LISTSERV@LISTS.psu.edu with only the following line in the body of the
message (the Subject line is ignored):
SET HIGHLA-L NOMAIL
To change (or to reset) your subscription options to receive the list
as separate email messages (default): send mail to
LISTSERV@LISTS.psu.edu with only the following line in the body of the
message (the Subject line is ignored):
SET HIGHLA-L MAIL
To change your subscription options to receive the list in a daily
digest: send mail to LISTSERV@LISTS.psu.edu with only the following
line in the body of the message (the Subject line is ignored):
SET HIGHLA-L DIGEST
To change your subscription options to receive the list as short
indexes of all postings (you can then retrieve the messages that you
are interested in reading): send mail to LISTSERV@LISTS.psu.edu with
only the following line in the body of the message (the Subject line
is ignored):
SET HIGHLA-L INDEX
If you want a prefix to show up on your subject lines to help identify
which message come from HIGHLA-L then send email to
LISTSERV@LISTS.psu.edu with only the following line in the body of the
message (Subject line is ignored):
SET HIGHLA-L SUBJ
The prefix [HL] will appear at the beginning of each Subject line of
all new messages from HIGHLA-L (The string 'Re:' will appear before
the prefix on replies).
If your mailer does not provide the mailing address of the person who
sent a post (usually PC and Mac mailers) you might want to change your
subscription option to get the headers also placed in the body of the
message. To do this: send mail to LISTSERV@LISTS.psu.edu with only the
following line in the body of the message (the Subject line is
ignored):
SET HIGHLA-L DUALhdr
Be careful and edit these headers out of any reply because they may
cause problems when you try to post the reply (the LISTSERV software
may fail to post your message).
To Unsubscribe: send mail to LISTSERV@LISTS.psu.edu with only the
following line in the body of the message (the Subject line is
ignored):
SIGNOFF HIGHLA-L
Note: DO NOT send mail to HIGHLA-L@LISTS.psu.edu to unsubscribe.
It may seem that your SIGNOFF didn't take effect because you are still
getting posts. There is probably a backlog of messages in HIGHLA-L's
queue that were posted before you sent the SIGNOFF command. Those will
continue to come until it gets to the timestamp when you unsubscribed.
This can take several hours or might even take up to 24 depending on
how backed up everything is.
*WHAT TO DO IF THE LISTSERV SAYS YOU ARE NOT SUBSCRIBED TO HIGHLA-L:
When trying to send one of these commands if you receive back a
message saying that you are not subscribed to HIGHLA-L this means
that your current outgoing email address has changed since you
subscribed to the list. It is very common for system administrators
to do this without notifying their users. The way to straighten this
out is to SUBSCRIBE from your new address and SIGNOFF from the
old. If you can't SIGNOFF from the old address please notify me and
I'll remove it.
If you post a message to the list and then receive a message stating
that your message has been forwarded to the moderator (me) that is
another indication that your outgoing email address has changed. I
will forward your message to the list if I can determine that you
are currently subscribed under any address (if the message doesn't
violate any of the Rules). Send me email and we will straighten it
out so that you can post unrestricted again.
SPECIAL: To request a copy of the Highlander FAQ list (Frequently
Asked Questions and the answers) send an email message to me at
ddoug@CATRIO.ORG with 'Send HL FAQ' in the Subject and
the FAQ will be sent to you automatically in nineteen parts. Collect
the contents of the numbered messages sequentially in a file for the
complete FAQ. Beware: the total FAQ is currently 273k. To check the
latest version number, send me email with 'Query HL FAQ' in the
Subject line.
I have other files that you can retrieve by automatic mail request.
If you send one of the following string (only one request per message)
in the Subject line of a message to ddoug@CATRIO.ORG
you will receive the following files by automatic mail request.
'Send HLFIC Instruct' = Instructions for retrieving
stories from the LISTSERV
(most recent 2 months only; the
rest are available by ftp from
ftp.highlander.org)
'Send HL Intro' = Introduction to HIGHLA-L and
subscription instructions
'Send Sword FAQ' = The Sword FAQ from
rec.martial-arts (22 March, 1994)
'Send HL FAQ' = The Highlander FAQ in 19 parts
(each part 350 lines or less)
'Send HL mFAQ' = The Highlander FAQ in 25 parts
(each part 250 lines or less)
Also we have a World Wide Web and an ftp site:
WWW -> http://www.highlander.org/highlander/
FTP -> ftp.highlander.org - /pub/highlander or
FTP -> 198.87.195.20 - /pub/highlander
The latest version of the FAQ is always available through me. The Web
and FTP sites may have older versions. The copy on Highlander.ORG is updated
every two to three months (more frequently if necessary) and I have no
control as to when any other Web site updates their version.
Davis/Panzer Productions their their own WWW site which
contains information about the TV series, the movies, and available

Good news, there is definitely a scheduled WSBK/38 showing. WSBK/38's own
program guide lists Queen of Swords on Thursday at 4am, Feb 8.
http://www.paramountstations.com/WSBK/
My copy of TV Guide doesn't show this, but I am happy to believe the
station web site.
WSBK site only has one week of schedule up, clicktv.com shows two weeks - -
including another WSBK showing of Queen of Swords on Feb 15, same day and time.
Thurs Feb 8, 4am, WSBK/38 = Queen of Swords - "Kidnapped"
Thurs Feb 15 4am, WSBK/38 = Queen of Swords - "Uncle"
I do love clicktv.com It had these listings last week, when I was
panicking at a lack of future WHUB listings.
I haven't found any sign of QoS on WFTX/25. (http://www.fox25.com/)
Also, clicktv.com and tvguide.com don't show any listings for Queen of
Swords, other than WSBK/38, for the next two weeks. So I tend to doubt the
part about Fox showing it, especially when the time that was mentioned is
currently scheduled for the very popular StargateSG1. But I'd be happy to
be wrong.
Ah, WHUB, we hardly knew ye.

Subject: HL:TS reviews
I was recently informed that Mothership (formerly Eon) will soon be taking
down their website. That's where my HL:TS reviews are posted. Credits,
dialogue, trivia, behind the scenes tidbits--as much as I could cram into
the space allowed. Seasons 1-4 are reviewed in full; season 5 is reviewed
through Duende; season 6 reviews are done but probably (along w/ the last 4
season 5 reviews) won't be posted now. (Someone else long ago wrote the
rather basic season 6 reviews that are up at the moment.)
So, if you want to see these reviews (Comes a Horseman, Revelation 6:8,
Ransom of Richard Redstone, & Duende were recently posted), better go soon
(&, no, the delays in posting weren't my fault; the reviews were all
finished months ago). This takes you to Duende, & you can navigate to the
rest from there.
http://www.mothership.com/tubereviews/review.asp?ID=1506&showID=8
Since I've got all 119 reviews written, anyone know of a place to have them
posted?

Subject: Elizabeth Gracen attending Fan Odyssey 2001
There is information on Elizabeth Gracen's web page confirming that she will
be at the Fan Odyssey 2001 Con in LA during April. I think this is going to
turn out to be a great con.
