Official Proclamation: top-posting, while discouraged, is not forbidden on the urth list, and is on the list of things-too-trivial-to-complain-about. Doesn't hurt to remind people…

I would discourage image attachments on the urth list. They probably won't show up in the digest or in the archives, and might annoy people on slow connections or Blackberries. B…

Jeff Wilson kindly scanned the Severian illustration from the GURPS manual, but the attachment was too large for the mailing list so I've posted it on the web site here: http://ww…

I'd like to ask the participants in this particular discussion thread to desist - it's drifted too far from the core topic. Feel free to continue by by email if you like. - Ranji…

This discussion is off topic because I, as owner of the list, say so. That's authoritarianism for you! Please move on to other topics.…

The hosting service (dreamhost) sent me a warning a few weeks ago that they were going to move the service to a new machine, and that there was a slight chance that things would br…

I'm sorry, but every time I read the subject line "The problem of Cthulhu" I think of the famous song from that classic musical. How do you solve a problem like Cthulhu? H…

I'll support a BotNS movie when they sign Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands as Severian. And, um, Steve Buscemi as Gurloes, Albus Dumbledore as Malrubius, and Sarah Silverman as …

And you don't think you'd get sick of taking care of the mailing list and web site after a year or two? :) Admittedly, it hasn't been much work for me lately, but that's partly b…

If I remember correctly, when "Thecla" awakens in the Antechamber of the House Absolute, her hands rise to claw her eyes as she remembers who she is. I think that's also when she …

Back in 1987 or so I'd never heard of Wolfe, but I read the review of the Book of the New Sun in a back issue of Asimov's Magazine, so I went to Moe's (?) and found one lone used c…
