Eva Lundin asked.... >How come you sent me this question?? ... and Linda Putnam replied... > I'm not quite sure who you are, but, with all due respect, I didn't send you > the question about Marley's Office. You are both (with many others) subscribers to the BOZ list at St Johns University. When your reply to an email that comes through a discussion list, the reply is sent back to the list and distributed to all other subscribers. Thus, this is a conversation quickly going nowhere. As listowner, it gives me an opportunity to let all know that the list will shortly be closed down, due to lack of support. I started it for schools, impersonating the style of Charles Dickens, several years ago, and my place was eventually taken by Dr David Parker (then Curator of the Dickens Museum in London and a far better 'Charles Dickens' than I had been). Dr Parker has long since retired and has other fish to fry -- also, there doesn't seem to be much call for students to question the Inimitable Mr Dickens about his works, therefore I shall not attempt again to imitate him and I take it upon myself to close this list as of 1st September and to remove the web-page at http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/chatback/ which was its public face. ==================== Tom Holloway tom.holloway@u3a.org.uk tom@holloways.org <== Personal email http://timewitnesses.org 01926-771772
