I've been a student since the '80s and on the list since a few weeks after it started. Lots of wonderful people have come and gone and come back and over time you feel like you know some folks well. Beneath the words and ideas that we kick around, there is a great network of people building and it's going to get much larger over time as people who read the Yarbro books way back when search Google and find Dave's site and the list. Thanks to Dave for keeping things going all this time, and thanks to many bright and wise people for their contributions.
