Dear NabLers,
Some of you have noticed that I quietly took up my shift and
relieved douty co-editor Sweeney on July 2nd. This seems a good
time to post a few reminders, and announce one new policy:
The Old:
1. Posts should always contain new information, thoughts or queries
about, or relevant to, Nabokov.
2. IMPORTANT: Please delete old messages from within your replies,
except appropriately brief selections relevant to your own comments.
This helps reduce storage space and makes archive searching more
efficient.
3. Prolific contributors should try to limit themselves to one
submission a day; for the less prolific, an average of one
per day is a good rule of thumb.
4. Please make
sure that your message is ready to post when you send it, and try
to refrain from multiple revisions and resubmissions of the same
message. The editors will only forward a message to the List
once. (If you must revise, please send a "retraction" notice to
the "Contact the Editors" address and then the revised post to the
list address).
And the new:
Submissions that clearly depart from list policies (e.g., quips,
one-liners, cheerleading) may be suppressed without comment by the
editors.
Please also note that the Editors do not endorse any opinions
published on the list, and that contributors are responsible for
their own comments.
Happy NabLing!
Stephen Blackwell
Co-Editor
