Yup, when creating the web page and mailing list, I just thought "humm,
what should I call it?" Since other lists I use are named after "catch
words" from the topic (fegmaniax, dear-23, etc) so I used "bananafish".

A few have suggested a FAQ. Does anyone want to help me figure out what
topics to include? Here's a start:
The list:
What's a list?
How do I get off of it?
Who's on it?
The pages:
I have an addition!
I saw an article...
Can you send me a term paper?
Fiction:
Is Sgt. X Seymour/Buddy/Salinger?
Is <story x> related to <story y>?
Salinger:
Tell me about him!
Is he alive?
Where does he live?
What's his email/phone/address?
Stories:
Where can I get the underpublished stories?
Where can I get the unpublished stories/letters?
What do you think? Let's keep this as general and basic as possible.
We should only cover the things that come up REALLY often. I'll be
happy to write it when I get time or others can write questions and
answers and send them to me.
Stephen
