The labyrinth grows, the mailbag flows. What makes a site alive? Same as
any organism --Growth, Reproduction, Irritability, Metabolism & Evolution.
GRIME.
Once again: check out the Mailbag Site if you don't have time to look at
anything else. This week writers URL's & email addresses are hotlinked
so you can fire back replies.
As usual, the site is salted with stashes of obscure & unlisted items.
Sometimes they change locations. Sometimes they had names but lost them.
I'm beginning to lose track of where they are myself. Arf.
With this fourth edition, I realize this is a full time job. This week I'm
beginning the process of formatting everything to show reasonably well on
webcrawler® & other non-Netscape® browsers. Hence the ubiquitous
periods suddenly appearing in the left margin between lines I want double
spaced. Just think of them as fly specks and get used to them. It's such
a dull and time consuming job, it'll take me weeks, but it's well begun.
Poets need line breaks.

The uncanny is what fills you with wonder and dread --makes the hair of
