Is there something more to it than maintaining the list of quotations that folks call out to be 'MARK'ed (and add the occasional side quotation of course)? If not, then I'm game to take it on. I've been collecting quotations since my college days anyway. I have a PDML-file that has (most of) the ones flagged in 2021 and 2022 already anyway. If there /is/ more to it, spill the beans...? Maybe I'll still sign on the dotted line anyway. (I know, I know, press hard, you're making three copies.) All of that given Mark being okay with it - as has been remarked before, it's his baby... Bruce N. -- They are all ugly outside their shells. Never eat half an escargot and look at what's left. The size doesn't help either.

Basicallly it was just his making decisions of what things were worthy of quoting. People would MARK things they liked, to bring them to his attention, or just show their appreciation. > > If not, then I'm game to take it on.

It’s basically a job of curating, and dealing with people who disagree with your decisions. > > If there /is/ more to it, spill the beans...? Maybe I'll still sign on the > dotted line anyway.

I guess you would need someplace to publish the annual list?
