From: Don Johnson:
Our beloved editors (who, I'm sure, got more than
they bargained for when they magnanimously volunteered to assume their posts)
recently urged contributors to check the extensive NABOKV-L Archives BEFORE
submitting their comments (where appropriate). I would add that checking ZEMBLA
as well may be profitable. Quite by chance, I ran across there the item below
which on its second page gives an excellent discussion of the virtues of the
"Pale Fire" and VN's attitude toward it.
Genius and Plausibility: Suspension of Disbelief in Pale
Fire

A penultimate thought. It would
be helpful if all contributors put their names at the top of their messages
(and at bottom as well), along with their e-addresses. Lastly, please give
informative brief titles for your subject line. This is important for locating
older information and thread continuity. Subject lines like PQ to RX are
useless.
