- Mention away, Alaric, no embargo here. Some of its discussions are
great, and it might be a neat idea if some of its key postings were copied
to this list (and vice versa)(with the poster's permission, of course).
There is a rather worrying condition on e-lists when the same thread is
replicated on a lot of related lists (the "Ezra Pound: fascist demon or
great poet?" thread is one which I'm sure crops up so many times that we
can always be sure that some list, somewhere is running it - a bit like
"Gone With the Wind"...) - but in general I've always found a bit of
cross-fertilisation helpful.
Er - wasn't aware of anyone leaving this list through "Tokenism" - can
anyone confirm?
