More mailing lists?

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.

[Posted from Whorl, the mailing list for Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun]

OK, I've been restraining myself, but perhaps the time has
come to act.  Do we need...

	A mailing list for discussing THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN

	A mailing list for GENE WOLFE stuff in general

I'd be glad to set them up if there's demand, but I'm not
sure what the right way to do it is.  I'd prefer to keep
the Whorl list focused mostly on Long Sun.  If the New Sun
list is similarly focused, then we do need at least three
lists to cover Urth, Whorl, and The Rest.  On the other
hand, if everyone in the world who's interested in one of
these topics is equally interested in the other two, then it
may be foolish of me to try to keep them separated.

Let me know what you think; I'll open up the new list or
lists in April.  Please send your suggestions directly to me
(ranjit at best.com) and not to the Whorl list.  Perhaps we
need a mailing list for discussion of wolfe-related mailing
lists?
