I'm not sure what I'm about to plead for really falls under the traditional definitions of "scholarship", but it's the word that comes to mind. I edit, for fun, the EP area in the Open Directory (based at http://dmoz.org/Arts/Literature/Authors/Poets/P/Pound,_Ezra/ but also appearing at Lycos, AOL, Hotbot, and other euphoniously-named and lavishly-funded Internet loci)... anyhow; I just now took a pass through the listings there, which I'd collated sometime in the first half of 1999, and about a quarter of them just aren't there any more. This, to use a term neither technical nor literary, sucks. People who publish things on the Internet without feeling some measure of commitment to leaving it there once published are suffering from a failure of what I can only call basic scholarship. In the more technology- and lucre-oriented segments of the Net, people are just more careful about maintaining the posts they stick in the electronic earth. Why should humanists be second-rate in this? Hrrumph. Back to your regularly scheduled meta-ideologies and metametapoetics. -T.
