That shows how important I think that site is - hence my thanks too for this wonderful gift, Alfredo. I’m working on two different computers – on one my browser opens with CT, on the other with PTDR.

And, man, does he find <em>everything</em>--I seem to remember he once posted a link to an interview I'd done with my college newspaper. If that isn't some serious dredging, I don't know what is. I don't know how he can add <em>more</em> though: can Bookforum possibly have deep enough pockets for him to add staff? I know Mike Tronnes at Cursor.org has a hell of a time keeping up there--and as great a job as he does (I think he has one staff person), he's ALWAYS scrambling just to keep the site up even with their more limited focus.

For months, I've been clicking on PTDR in the morning, thinking the site has <i>got</i> to shut down; that the whole thing was just too much work for one man. But even when he claimed that he was going to be cutting back a while ago, he still consistently delivered great stuff, and more of it than I could imagine ever finding on my own. My thanks, Alfredo; for people into your sort of thing (like me), you've been a godsend.
