Greetings,

Please note that I imputed library amateurism to *most* wordslingers, but
by no means all.  I saw nothing to challenge this presumption in the
responses.  Indeed, if other discussions displayed the same degree of
perspicacity, the list would be in a sorry state indeed.

I voted for the Portland site.  Nevertheless, well-intentioned as our laid-
back western subscribers are, I must agree there has been little evidence
of a substantial organizational commitment (not that anyone is likely to
meet the high standards set last year by that heroic Rhode Island team!).

I would certainly look favorable on a North Carolina site.  My spousal unit
and I often rent a house on the Outer Banks.  We usually do this during the
off-season, but that would be problematic for teaching faculty.  Even so,
I wonder whether anyone would like to piggy-back a week at a big house in,
say, Avon, which is south of Nag's Head, during the week following the
Words-l Tarheel expedition?  Many of the rental units allow pets and
accomodate up to 8-12 people comfortably.  It's just a thought, but
the Outer Banks is a nice vacation spot, and would be an easy drive from
a words-l site in eastern or central NC.
