First of all let me congratulate you on the way SCREEN-L is being run presently, Jeremy. From my view it is a very good way of getting an idea about directions and discussions in American film studies. Judging from what I have seen so far, I would not worry about your moderating the list thus giving us a "leaner", but no doubt better discussion forum. The question is whether you have the time and opportunity to do this. Bjorn Sorenssen, University of Trondheim, Norway
