Dmitri Nabokov is quite correct in his statement that he had no role in the curtailment of the political thread of some months ago. Nor does he in any sense control the list. I have run many postings that I know he finds distasteful. While I confess to considerable discomfort about ad hominem comments by DN and other contributors, I have (sometimes unhappily) run them in an attempt to be fair to all parties. I ask that all contributors avoid invective. In all-to-rare cases I have asked contributors to tone down their more personal remarks.

NABOKV-L is primarily intended to be a source of information and informed opinion about literary matters. Since, however, the list both cites and forwards published materials that sometimes involve extra-literary matters, the latter may contain opinions offensive to some subscribers. Please take note that the appearance of such material on NABOKV-L does NOT imply endorsement (or damnation) of the contents or the author.
