You're very welcome. It came about when Eddie Duggan and I were
discussing the lack of a central place to talk about these important
matters. Rec.arts.mystery has some very good threads and readers, but
mailing lists can work a lot better. I'm on a Frank Sinatra mailing
list that can get up to 100 messages a day, while weeks can go by
without mention of him in news. I'm archiving all the traffic on
here, and monthly chunks will go on the web. Like you, I'm hoping to
pick up a lot, and I'm also hoping we can get a good FAQ or some kind
of similar resource together.

Hey, you've got a good memory. That was a very good anthology. (I
have a couple of others, old paperbacks - I'll have to make a web page
for anthologies.) I thought about getting it in hardcover, but it was
damn expensive. Do you happen to know if it's in paperback?

: was I wrong. This guy would depress Jim Thompson:)
Well, you got me now. I'm going to get a copy of this as soon as I
can. :)
