Sez me, having come back from the dead.
I'm very interested by the discussion of tone and textures in e-mails that
has gone on in the last few days, I think it very pertinent to the nature of
lists, what I am minded of in that respect is the paradox that although
e-mails are in the fixities of print they are also very verbal in nature, so
one gets the casual and throwaway nature of conversation with the sometimes
unhappy effect of it being, as it were, graven in letters of stone.
Agree with Jesse about 'Wulf and Eadwacer', 'tis beautiful isn't it?
Anglo-Saxon blues!
