Scout,
I have been to busy to read the list for a while so sorry that this may
seem a rather delayed response.
Welcome :-) Always nice to have a new fish and you have arrived at a
time when new blood is particularly needed (lots of people, due to work
pressures, amazing plans, etc, having recently departed).
I personally would have no objection to a long essay being posted on
the list, although whether I not I read it would depend on the kind of
week I was having. At the moment it would probably go into my box of
"things I must peruse at leisure". Perhaps leaving it to Bananafish.org
would be more practical.
Anyway, welcome once again :-)
Love, Lucy-Ruth
