Dear friends,<br>
<br>
I have doubts about Google groups for the CRITICS-L list because
as far as I know that presupposes that we need to use and
communicate with our gmail accounts, and I don't like to work with
an account that requires entering the web, and prefer to use a POP
account (and e.g. Thunderbird as mail program) as do most people
who use their university e-mail address. <br>
<br>
So, so far Jerry's proposal stands, but I think it is fair and
wise to wait for other proposals. My main criterion is that once
the CRITICS-L list is housed elsewhere, it will have many years of
continuity, which requires a dedicated convenor, specialized in
CDA, and a practical list system. <br>
<br>
Alternatively, we could also ask LINGUIST to house us, parallel
with the DISCOURS list, but that would be an open - and hence
possibly very large - list to manage. <br>
<br>
We'll keep thinking and talking about this. <br>
<br>
