Personally, I'm not that bothered by it, but perhaps after the initial
call for contributors people should take their discussion to private
e-mail (or separate listserv's if set-up by the publisher). The questions
for Clark & Steve with regard to submitting proposals and editing really
don't belong on this listserv.
