Add:Ed Farrell. Somewhere out west. You know, that guy we forgot who can't forget a name -- an ancient Greek curse, I'm told, somewhat similar to the bot fly.
Thanks, Ed. I'd forgotten all those people except Jeanette Poulton whose name I was trying in vain to recall. Pierre LeFleur, he was working on a dissertation about .... (some Greek or Roman guy's irony???) Every post he would mention it.
Add:Veronica Calley. Milford, MI. Forgetting her is like forgetting Mother's Day. Teacher of the Humanities to humans even though she prefers Shelties, which is why she has only 1 husband but 2 Shelties.
And thanks to Paul Stone for the walk down memory lane. Especially for the recall of Josey Wells -- I remember debates on list whether he was for real or an imposteur. I wrote him off-list once asking straight out: "Who the hell are you?" He wrote back: "I'm just like you. A self-important blowhard." OK, then, I thought, welcome to the club.
Now then. Has anyone ever been so disliked that they were called a "shit-head" and whose presence was so distasteful that the same long time list member quit the list rather than suffer your presence? Has anyone been called "an alleged child-abuser"? Has anyone been the only one thrown off a list? The answer is Yes. Someone has. C'est moi. T'is I, I humbly reply.
Thanks to all, even Steve Schroer. You have all been important in my enjoyment of my life. Carry on.

Well, then there's Pierre Lafleur, Lonnie Jaycox, Jeanette Poulton, David Green, Ty Moore, Steve Wall. Daniel Velton. Who could forget John Landon. And some cat named Norbert Sclippa, which I imagined was an anagram but never unravelled it. My head's a name basket, and there's a face attached to each one though I've not met a one of them.Ed Farrell remembering everything and nothing,north of the picket wire, south of the Columbia River, west of the Rockies, east of the Hawaiian IslandsRobert Paul wrote:David Ritchie recalledThat Australian fellow, government bureaucrat, conservative catholic, Bev Hogue Stephen Straker The guy who wanted to sue the board David Thingy in TexasThe litigant: Anthony D'Amato, Leighton Professor of Law, Northwestern UniversityThe owner of Phil-Lit, who wanted to smash his own creation, and finally did: David Myers, Associate Professor of English, Texas A&M Universityadd: Denis Dutton (some sort of owner/founder/director) of Phil-Lit.

Nancy (something) was the editor or compiler of what went onto A & LD before it was bought out by LF.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_%26_Letters_Daily Except perhaps for Bev Hogue, none of these people made it to Lit-Ideas.
