Yes, I was debating whether or not to mention Katrina.
But a question for Andrew Z. Is it OK to mention to the list a search for a non-dramatic Renaissance position? I have a query from the chair of the department that's looking. If it's OK, I'll forward it. Anne.

I am in favor of bearing with one another. Not that it hurts to state the conventions that govern the discourse, just that I'm with Julia on "let us be kind"--another convention of the discourse--especially when the announcement in question concerns the appearance of a first book from a scholar whose tenure was washed away by Katrina.
I draw the line at pop-up ads for reputation-enlargement.--On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 5:17 PM, Julia Staykova <[log in to unmask]> wrote:
Andrew, I loved reading this.
However, let us be kind in such matters. The Spenser Encyclopaedia post elicited plenty of highly encouraging responses, and in terms of sheer bulk took a lot more space than the single entry on the Complaints, albeit one that was a sales pitch. The minor discomfort of skipping tedious emails is part of the game. Perhaps a more important rule on subscription lists should be to avoid causing personal discomfort?
