For those of you who may have missed it, I would just like to alert you to
the fact that Jim Nohrnberg has just *posted to the list without
assistance.* This is the positive, though perhaps temporary, result of,
dare I say victory in, a long and atlantean struggle between the forces of
JISC and those of UVA, a titanic encounter that deserves to be
memorialized in a poem at least as long as The Faerie Queene, and as
soporific as any dance by Morris; which might begin:
I sing of aliases, and the man
Of many turnings conjugate as true,
As much of Proteus as ever Pan,
As deep as Dis, proof as Achilles shoe,
Like Ceres store eternal, never through;
Whose name by strange addresses having veiled
Long time in miller's weeds, and heron's hue,
Now rives the coiling clouds, wherein it valed,
And in its right shines past all rein, but not unhailed.
etc. (to ca. 45,000 lines)
