Hello Clarence and others.
While I wholeheartedly agree that we must do everything in our power to gain
more access to published and printed material, I regret having talked about
my collection on a listserv owned by an institution that must scrupulously
respect copyright laws, however discriminatory some of these laws might be.
This said, if the owners of this listserv will permit, I would be pleased to
share parts of my collection with others. To this end, I will keep a file of
names and e-mail addresses of people who contact me personally and, when
able to do so, I will respond to inquiries as best I can. Those interested
may contact me at either:
gerald.neufeld@xxxxxxxxxx
or
jerry.neufeld@xxxxxxxxxxx
I hope the above statements will not be interpreted by the APH as disregard
on my part for their concerns which, as I have already said, I entirely
appreciate. List owners may be assured that this is the last posting on this
matter that I will make.
Regards to everyone,
Jerry
