Eek, noooooh!
I might occasionally talk about such things but, seriously, not a chance.
Do you really think I want to turn out essays full of clichés for bored
lecturers? Y'know the kind of stuff - Hughes demonstrates his awareness of
instinctual wisdom in Lupercal, the late plays of Shakespeare articulate a
saving myth of regeneration, the distinctiveness of George Eliot lies in her
acute and innate grasp of psychology allied with a relentless sense of moral
existence, blah blah.

'Course you are, dave.
But given that you +do+ occasionally post there, if you take Mark's reading,
that puts your head on the line.
Me, the damn list bores me so rigid I don't bother.
Despite my manifold flaws and imperfections, I never +have+ managed to get
myself bounced from a list.
Maybe I ought to make a serious try at joining the Bounced-From-Buffalo
Club.

(Oh, history -- to be strictly accurate, Henry wasn't bounced. He was put
on review, and upped stakes and left.
And [does anyone remember this?] the reason Henry left Petc was because Kent
(welcome back, Kent!) got banned.
So maybe now Kent's with us again, somebody could entice Henry back.
