dual list discussion
Hello everyone I'm a long time lurker but looking to post more often. I'm for one list but would prefer it Wolfe only. Pullman and Crowley may be fine writers, worthy of some of the fine-toothedness I've seen demonstrated here, but I'd prefer a Wolfe-dedicated discussion. Ranjit, is it possible to have a Wolfe list and a more open, general discussion list? I don't know how the financial side of whorl hosting works or what options you have but it seems to me you've enabled the formation of a community and it would be interesting to see the scope of exchange broadened. Anyone else feel similarly? As for a handle I'm picking one that's seems both whorlly and close to my own name - Eule.

Actually this isn't a bad idea a-tall: One list for Wolfe discussion and one for other "Lupine" writers. Except, of course, that the second list quickly becomes a combination general literary discussion and argument about "what is Lupine," so its value might fall into question fairly quickly. Or maybe not. I like the idea if it could be handled well. H'mmmm. How about this: One main list, one to which we move discussions when they wander off the immediately Lupine? And what to call such lists? "Wolfe" and "Dogge"? "Lupine" and "Quasilupine?" "Whorl" and "Swirl?" "Urth" and "Sky"? "Fred" and "Ethel"? "Wolfetrain" and "Sidecar"?
