I had thought about it. I'm sure it is common that people read lists
devoted to themselves or their work. (Matt Groening, in one of his
"Life in Hell" strips referred to a comment made in alt.tv.simpsons.)
Salinger could well be an exception, however. He has said that he is
opposed to fame (which might explain why he has stopped publishing,
though he continues to write), and he may well not be enamored by the
idea of a discussion list among (mostly) Salinger devotees. (Of course,
if some sicko on this list were to make a death threat or something like
that, no doubt he'd hear about it.)
