As most of you know, all the messages posted on SCREEN-L pass through a moderator (me) first who filters out inappropriate ones (spams, requests to unsubscribe, etc.). Well sir, the road is a-calling to me. I'm heading to Arizona for a couple of weeks of communing with cacti and channeling the spirit of John Ford and Harry Carey (senior *and* junior). Rather than hefting SCREEN-L with me or finding a substitute moderator, I think I'll just let SCREEN-L run wild, run free, during that time. You may see the "noise" level rise just a bit and I thought I'd better give folks advance warning for that reason. July/August is typically a slow time for SCREEN-L, though, so I don't reckon it'll be too much of an inconvenience. Besides, SCREEN-L old timers will recall that this list began (the *first* film/TV studies list!) as an unmoderated one. So, just think of this break from moderating as a return to Ye Olden Dayze. Don Larsson will continue to handle problems with expired addresses or unsubscribing during my brief sabbatical. (Bless you, Don!) Yippee-ti-yi-yay and I'll see you all again in mid-August! ---- Jeremy Butler SCREEN-L Moderator mailto:[log in to unmask] SCREENsite: http://www.sa.ua.edu/SCREENsite/ Telecommunication & Film/University of Alabama/Tuscaloosa ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
