Having enjoyed reading the archives of this list on the Web site, I've decided (since I understand it is open to all interested parties) to join myself. So I thought an introductory message might be appropriate. I'm Jon Corelis, living near San Francisco and working as a software QA consultant in California's Silicon Valley. Though I've published a few articles in the U.S. on various subjects, all of my literary work (verse and criticism) has so far been published only in Britain and Austria. The immediate occasion for my joining is to send some comments oFred Beake's article on prosody, which I will do in a separate article.
