dear connie & other subscribers--first of all, Welcome! i am delighted
that you have chosen to participate in this listserv and want to welcome
you and let you each and all know how much i appreciate your taking the
time to work with us, think with us, advise us.
the Excite search engine will, i suspect, always have some of the
problems that Connie is experiencing (i.e., returning a great number of
hits relevant and irrelevant to your search). this is one of the
reasons we are marking the DEA up in SGML (which will enable much more
precise searches than HTML). her question is fabulous, and i think
sharing better & worse search strategies is a great idea.
i'm also curious how y'all like the new designs we've begun to implement
(they can be found in Writings by Susan Dickinson, and in the Emily
Dickinson "samplers," as well as in Titanic Operas).
welcome aboard, and i'm looking forward to many conversations with you.
my best & warmest to each & all,
mn
