But isn't this very mailing list the modern replacement/equivalent for the
"club" that existed back then? It's certainly not less friendly an era
unless you choose it to be. And as the Electronotes was built on
appropriating what had gone before, so could this mailing list. The only
reason for BH to keep (c) of the electronotes is money, plain and simple.
