Did you all know about this?

*"Epistemological Letters* (French: Lettres Épistémologiques) was a
hand-typed, mimeographed "underground" newsletter about quantum physics
that was distributed to a private mailing list, described by the physicist
John Clauser as a "quantum subculture", between 1973 and 1984.
Distributed by a Swiss foundation, the newsletter was created because
mainstream academic journals were reluctant to publish articles about the
philosophy of quantum mechanics, especially anything that implied support
for ideas such as action at a distance. Thirty-six or thirty-seven issues
of Epistemological Letters appeared, each between four and eighty-nine
pages long. Several well-known scientists published their work there,
including the physicist John Bell, the originator of Bell's theorem.
According to Clauser, much of the early work on Bell's theorem was
published only in Epistemological Letters."
