If there were some way that all of the comments and additional information on all of the saints discussed through the history of Medieval Religion could be easily collated... Great Minds Always Running in the Same Ruts, i had exactly the same thought when reading your Musings, Phylis. my first instinct was to suggest that you simply add the detailed additions of, say John Dillon, to the archive file where you keep these postings, sending them out the next year with those added. while perhaps being the easiest and least labor intensive thing to do, clearly that would result in some pretty massive missives on some daze, after a year or two. but, how about adding in the Saint of the Day epistle a link to the list's archives where the previous additions --and further discussion, if any-- to the relevant saints could be found? the list archive seems to be posted to the web on an instantaneous basis, it seems http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A1=ind0402&L=medieval-religion so all it would take would be the addition of a statement like "...further details on St. X were provided by list members and are available in the list archive at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0402&L=medieval-religion&T=0&F=&S=&P=400 and elsewhere on that string. just a thought, from a Great Mind stuck in the same old Rut. christopher "Lots of useless other data points just enlarge the consciousness of the agrieved showing how particular the pain is." --Burma Shave ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
