I heard the sad news about Ric Caddel, and have re-joined the list to add
to the tributes to him. The britpo list, under Ric's stewardship, was a
revelation to me in the early days, and I think the warmth of his
personality came through and helped to make it a welcoming place for gauche
newcomers like myself. Although I never met him, I had corresponded with
him and he was always patient and helpful, with a good sense of humour. His
poetry I value greatly. A sad loss.
