A fun place to hang out with lovers of mysteries, and writers of mysteries is DorothyL, a discussion and idea list for the lovers of the mystery genre, presently with over 3,000 participants. It was concocted by a group of librarians at a July 1991 Washington, D.C. meeting of the Association of Research Libraries and named in honor of one of the greatest mystery writers. DorothyL's Moderators AKA list-owners are very friendly and incredibly brave people:
Michael J. Kovacs, Diane K. Kovacs and Kara L. Robinson.

The following was written by Jonathan E. Quist, and submitted to DorothyL July 28, 2007
"With a tip of the hat to Edward Lear, who won't sue me for shameless parody (because he's been dead these 120 years)."
Said Kaye Barley to thin air,
"You can hardly be aware,
how I lie awake at night
plotting out a webby site.
If we took a little shot
of D.L.-ers cool and hot,
then we could post them there,"
said Kaye Barley to thin air.
Then said Donald to Kaye Barley,
"Here's a pic of us with Harley.
I don't think that's enough;
getting more will be quite rough."
Said Kaye Barley with a sigh,
"It can do no harm to try.
We've an author-filled wazoo:
why don't we ask them, too!"
So they both went scrolling down
the photoshop in town
as their browser made a sound
and said, "404 Not Found";
And everybody cried,
as the album they all tried,
"No! the pictures are not there!
They are someplace else, but where?"
Seems the authors, one and tutti,
incomplete were, in their duty,
though a query came their way,
not all replied that day.
So, to say that they were missed,
Kaye paid the poet-Quist.
(He comes cheap, but what the hey:
you get for what you pay!)
Then they whispered to each other,
"Here's a pic, and there's another;
what a web we've nicely woven
(with infinitives quite cloven)."
So Kaye Barley, in a thong
sang out loud and sang out strong,
"Come and see this pretty sight,"
as she clicked on through the night.
