Dear Spenserians and Sidneians,
Following our query of a little over a week ago, we have had forty-two
responses regarding the future of the Spenser and Sidney email lists. The
replies have broken down as follows:
AMALGAMATE
41 votes
of which:
37: under a new name/not fussy
4: under [log in to unmask]
DON'T AMALGAMATE
1 vote
(For the mathematically underadvanced, that's 98% in favor of amalgamation)
We therefore propose that the two lists be amalgamated. Because most people
favor the adoption of a new name reflecting the joint focus of the list
(especially post-MLA!), we propose investigating the possibility of
coordinating the list under a new address, [log in to unmask]
We will therefore explore this option with JISCmail and report back to the
lists (potential technical difficulties emerge in the transfer of the
archives, etc.).
Thank you for your abiding patience.
Andrew Zurcher
