I was hoping to generate a few snail-mailing exchanges & I've succeeded slightly with that. Of course, most of us are using electronic means more often. My 2 biggest additions to my online presence are these 2 webpages where I've started posting interviews (so far largely neoism related) from my substantial archive:
