ANSTHRLD - old Gazette

[Timothy A. McDaniel]

I have AGs back to (I think) March 1991.  My collection
certainly goes back before ILOI #78 (two before the ILOI
>From Hell).

I'll try to remember to check out the item to-night.  Wendy,
if it's convenient, you might consider prodding me at 10ish
or so.  (10ish, anyone?)

By the way, when I copied all the old LoARs and AGs for the
Bordure files and my own, I made a couple more full copies.
I'm quite willing to give out the extra sets -- that's why I
made them.  HOWEVER, I'm rather anal^H^H^H^H fanatical about
keeping archives of official documents.  I don't want to
give out a set to someone who says "oh, OK, I'll take a
set", and learn a couple of years later that they cleaned
house and decided to toss them, or moved and misplaced them.
I wouldn't be peeved or annoyed -- I'd be *absofuckinglutely
furious*.  (Someone ask me a hypothetical question about a
burning house with the last remaining copy of an unknown
play by Sophocles and a child, and I had time to save only
one -- which one would it be?  I looked blank and asked why
there was any doubt.)

Oh, Caveat #2: the copy shop dropped the originals, I think,
or had paper jams that disarranged the sequence of pages.
There aren't many problems or large ones, but you do have to
check every sheet, and since not every LoAR sheet is
numbered, and some AGs didn't have numbers, you occasionally
have to do stratigraphy and detective work to get them in
order.  I sorted reams for my own copies, but I don't
remember how far I got with the others -- I may have said
"screw up" and given up in disgust.

If you're willing to brave my caveats, please let me know.
