I think Luke seeman still posts when he has something to say--his "Holden
Server" and demonstration of respect for mr. salinger made him an early
online hero for me...of course stephen foskett started the list and was
one of the first to have a salinger page on the web...I was in on it too
and dragged a class onto the list to help get it going but I think Stephen
and Luke were probably the list's first members...sundeep came in pretty
early and along with matt, offered some of our best scholarship...yeah
helena, a year on this list seems funny but I'm glad you're here!  BTW,
how did you access those early archives?  I started keeping salinger posts
in jan, l996--when did this list actually begin--sometime in the fall of
96?  will
