Dear Colleagues:

For some time now the subscription mechanism for Humanist has not been
functioning due to conditions beyond my control. Until quite recently I had
not noticed. As a result, I fear that many potential members of the seminar
have attempted to join without success. Should you know of anyone who has
tried in vain, please encourage him or her to make another attempt. We have
moved the mechanism from a computer in the Library at Princeton to the
Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH) at Virginia. Now
it works! I am most grateful to John Unsworth for his generosity in hosting
yet another piece of Humanist and for the considerable work he put into
getting the subscription software to run at its new home. Thanks are also
due to Chris Dietrich (CIT, Princeton) and Gerard Menos (Library,
Princeton), who were most cooperative.

Unsworth and his staff have also been at work on the archive of messages and
filled in many gaps with missing messages. The archive should now be complete.

The mysterious appearance of several quite old messages today -- I received
some from as early as May 1998 -- is a new problem now under investigation.
Be assured that I have been just as deluged as you, so I am equally annoyed
and highly motivated to do something about the problem.

Yours,
WM

This is about the 10th message I have received today, 4 JANUARY 1999--all
old ones that seem to be coming back from some space somewhere?--Is there
