Why should I do that ? That is ban you from the list
that was a wink at the sordid history of this listserve. some time back, the pack-who-always-attacked-me became such a victim of its own group-think that it actually convinced itself that _i_ was the only reason that t.e.i. wouldn't work, like my mere presence had some kind of magical force that rendered t.e.i. moot. they tried to ban me here, but michael wouldn't have it. so they decided that if they set up a listserve elsewhere, and banned me from it in advance, they would succeed bringing about the great solution that i was subverting, and create the t.e.i. workflow project gutenberg needed. in other words, they were saying pretty much exactly what you proposed, keith. this was about 6 years ago. so they actually created that listserve. it went nowhere. this listserve has been repeating its own history forever. -bowerbird
