Such a merger could be very interesting. Whether you can classify this
listserv as generally 'leftist' or not, it would certainly add to the field
of debate. The increased exposure to North American ideas and experiences
would also be valuable. (This was exemplified well in the recent debate
about Lacrosse when it was noted that it appears to play a the different
role in UK and Canadian society.) In the meantime Andy, do you know how
individuals could hook up to this leftgeog listserv? Are there any other
listserv's out there that people think might be of interest to the group?
