Great Moments in P list History...

[David Morris]

Yes!  The archives are very rich.  I started with the first GRGR, embarking
on my second & third GR read simultaneously.  We allowed so much time for
each segment, usually two weeks, that I read way ahead early, and then
circled back to re-read each discussion segment.  The downside to that
format was that group reads could be over a year long, and usually finished
with a very few participants.
