Well, or course freelists.org has archives but I don't know if they qualify as a database. (Not the self: check with Mirembe about plural/singular discrepancy here.) I looked in Reed's LexisNexis database, but couldn't bring up a reference to lit-ideas or to freelists. This version of LN is called LexisNexis Academic, though which suggests that it's more narrowly selective than the original. But I'll keep looking. It sounds worthwhile. My accountant says that although an endowed chair would be 'a touching idea' it would be more prudent to incorporate myself and issue stock options to list members. I'm sending Andreas the wire transfer number of the Sheepskin Bank and Trust under separate cover.
