|If anyone thinks I should have the old ones kept
|available on the web forever, speak now.
See earlier message - if not on the web then on electronic media or some
master print out somewhere
in amongst the many messages that may not be of lasting interest there will
be gems - and some gems may not even be recognisable to us at present as all
that interesting
some perhaps much of the energy of the poets involved which would have gone
into producing _papers_ has been diverted into the list and just as we value
the papers of poets for whatever it is we value them for we should value
their electronic emissions
and anyway when in the future someone says _whose this git Upton with his
odd messages_ I shall have my moment of pseudo-immortality and I am sure we
agree that is worth the effort no matter how great
SO - don't just pulp em... that's what they do to poetry anthologies
