italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear italian-studies colleagues,
I thought I would share a message I have just sent to several of our number. I am sending this message to the list so that anyone who might be interested will know of my actions. If you have any questions in this regard, please write a message directly to me, at:

I do hope this is the last such message I shall need to write for a very long time (if ever).
Best wishes, George

Dear colleagues,
I am writing this to you off-list. If you are receiving this message, it is because you have either sent a message to the list in regard to matters stemming from a recent job announcement, or because you have written to me privately in regard to one or more of these messages.
I am asking you formally to cease any and all messages to the list in this regard. If you ignore this request, I shall find myself in a position I do not enjoy: that is, as list owner with a responsibility toward the maintenance of a list devoted to 'Scholarly discussions in any area of Italian Studies', I may well have to remove you from the list's membership.
Please do not put me in a position where this becomes inevitable. I ask you to restrain your messages such that you send them directly to the 'interessato/a', and not to hundreds of people who have every right to expect only messages of a scholarly nature. (And as I note the possibility of a new discussion, growing out of these exchanges, that might be deemed scholarly by some, I ask you to drop this discussion, please; it has been tainted by what went beforehand.)
Thank you for your kind consideration of this request.
Yours truly,
George
