i have bananafish-digest v1 #178 and #179, and #294 through #319, and
every digest since it moved to nyu. if these are useful for archiving
purposes, or anyone would like them, let me know.

p.s. tim, don't worry about people arriving and leaving quickly. my
guess is that it has a lot to do with the high traffic on the list. most
people find it hard to keep up with such volume. and it's *hefty*
volume. the kind of posts you have to actually sit down and *read*.  so
i'm sure it's just a matter of people not realising beforehand what kind
of list they're getting into.

a bananafish is for life, not just for christmas.

p.p.s. about meeting in real life: i met brian fenton (remember?) a few
times. have there been any other bananafish face to face meetings?
