Dear List,
I have realized that some subscribers, because of the way their subscription is configured, do not receive an automatic acknowledgment when they submit something to NABOKV-L or a copy of their own message when it has been forwarded to the List. That can understandably lead to confusion about a message's fate, as has happened in a couple of cases recently.
I can easily change the terms of your subscription, so let me know if this is a problem for you. (By the way, some subscribers who don't have time to read NABOKV-L every day prefer to receive digests instead of individual postings; I can easily change your subscription in that way, too.)
Meanwhile, I append good-humored remarks on the subject of editing the List from Fran Assa and James Studlaw.
Thanks,
Susan Elizabeth Sweeney
Co-Editor, NABOKV-L

Wow. You didn't edit my little discussion on signs and symbols; I thought you definitely had because the editing seemed to have given it more coherence! Now that I know that "portions" of the message were "lost in cyber-space" ---well how eerie! Martin in Glory, "waited for the ghost of his father to make a scratching sound in the corner." I feel like VN has been scratching and has learned to use the ether to play with our messages! I can only imagine what elan he felt tossing out the reference to the Viennese quack!

I third Sweeney and Blackwell. Isn't it peachy (to coin a southern phrase) to live in a country where one can exhange ideas, philosophies, biases, among intellectual coevals (to coin a Nabokov word) without fear of suppression. Hey, its a great site. My forte is Victorian literature but I do enjoy (having read only Lolita, Pninn and Welcome to a Beheading) reading all your insights, because I don't understand all I know about Nabokov, but Jansymello does. Go Jansy.
