Applause for Urth essays

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I usually appreciate the discussion and debate that goes on around here
(well, obviously--otherwise I wouldn't be here).

In addition to that, it is very exciting to see fully developed pieces like
Mitchell A. Bailey's "The Power Behind the Phoenix Throne" and Roy C.
Lackey's recent piece on the flowers of Dorcas.  (I'll be seeing Robert
Borski's latest "NYRSF" essay when my subscription copy arrives--soon.
First it must battle its way through the walls of snail flesh between yon
and hither . . . )

There is little reward for such labors (unless you happen to be an
academic, at which point you've got the gun to your head <g>).  And so I
salute Messrs. Lackey and Bailey and applaud their essays.

Yay!
