 --[mb]-- This list is actively archived at _www.egroups.com_.  Thus
there is never a need to be subscribed to the list at all, which e.g. I
usually am not (...as I cannot tolerate receiving any unwanted emails in
my academic email account).  Through _www.egroups.com_, one can easily
view or not view a list's postings, at any time, with no fear of
invasion and no fear of loss.  The days when one had to be subscribed to
a list to get what benefits (or even hamsters) may on occasion crop up
are happily gone, and one remains effectively sheltered above all from
wacko material.

The idea of a cult of "postmodernism" is new to me, so C.Stinson's short
course on it seems an asset to have in the archive, to which one can
always go at a later time if circumstances do not permit a current
interest in the topic.
