medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I've been a member of the list since 1997 and for me it is the first port of call when I am starting a new project, as my recent query about the perception of women in medieval preaching demonstrated. The volume of postings has certainly decreased but the quality of contributions is always impressive and for that I am very grateful to George and to you all.

Kind regards,

Colmán Ó Clabaigh OSB

As another lurker, I second everything Frank said (except the part about the scotch whisky!)

George,

As an elderly early modern (German reformation 1519-1530) lurker, I would like to comment.

The quantity of scotch whisky sold over the last decades has increased considerably.  This has not been accompanied by an increase in quality.

The inverse is true concerning this list.  While the amount of traffic has decreased, the quality of that traffic has been enriched.  If I cannot discover the status quo of an issue or teaching or issue, medrel is where I begin.  Having met so many of the list members at Kzoo and heard their expertise, I know medrel is my shortcut to the heart of an issue, complete with bibliography, often in four or five languages.

I still see medrel as a sort of electronic 'senior commons room' where I may enter, ask a question, perhaps profoundly silly, and receive a polite, fulsome reply.  As I totter off into advanced senility, it is a comfort to know that there are people far wiser (and younger) than I who are kind enough to help me to continue to learn as best as my feeble brain allows me to learn.

George, I owe you a personal "Thank you!" for maintaining that quality, along with my thanks to the scholars who take the time to answer the questions raised.  I am humbled and profoundly gratified by the discussion on our list.  It assures me there is indeed intelligent life on earth.


With many thanks,
Frank
