Meanwhile, I'm the moderator of the Rara-Avis discussion list (and William Denton still is, officially, as well) but the Rara-Avis site-- http://www.miskatonic.org/rara-avis/ -- is still completely under the control of Bill...though I see he hasn't updated much of it for a while now.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-58335385346007806882010-10-20T12:03:33.701-04:002010-10-20T12:03:33.701-04:00Sorry for the loss of your friend, Todd.
