List, Nathan, Gary, all,
I'd also like to point out that, as usual at peirce-l, Gary Richmond's
organizational and planning skills had a lot to do with the success.
It's kind of behind the scenes, so people don't always know about it,
but I know about it.
Best, Ben

I certainly agree that this was a great success and everyone who

line of fire for so many weeks.
Let me take this opportunity to also thank you Gary, Cathy, and Ben
for the Ransdell issue of TCSPS. Well done.

Subject: de Waal: Conclusion of the seminar
Dear Kees, seminar emcees, list,
Now that the seminar on Peirce: A Guide for the Perplexed
(http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17138102-peirce ) appears to be
winding down (although please feel free to continue discussing any
topic that's been introduced in the seminar), we would like to thank
all the emcees who ably led the seminar discussions as well as those
who participated in them. I also received a number of off-list emails
from "lurkers" to say that they were enjoying and benefiting from the
seminar even though they were not actively participating in it.
Especially gratifying to me was the fact that several new voices were
heard on the list, amongst which were some who joined peirce-l
expressly for the seminar
Nathan Houser has been keen for a while on the idea of a seminar at
peirce-l, and it has worked out well indeed. We thank him for his
continued support.
In my now well over decades long involvement with peirce-l, first as
lurker, then as participant, and now as moderator, I do not recall
such an abundance of high level discussions over such an extended
period of time. In my opinion, of all the "slow reads" and similar
extended discussions which have been held here over the past decade
or so, this was by far the most successful overall. The fine
contextualizing prefatory material provided by the emcees surely
helped catalyze the high activity and quality of the discussions so
that, as we expected, it was possible to springboard off the concise
material contained in Kees' short book into areas of contemporary
interest and debate.
So we would again like to thank the emcees for their excellent work
throughout the seminar.

Finally, and most of all, we want to thank Cornelis (Kees) de Waal
for writing this excellent introduction to the life and thought of
Peirce, and for his participation in the seminar discussion, limited
only, I've come to understand, by his extraordinary time constraints.
