We have copies of the posts from our list.  To select the posts for the 
anthology, we will sort them by author and subject.  Then we read them. 
They we select posts that are best of list.  Then we send releases to their 
authors to obtain permission to reprint.

Another method which we will use is to get the names of posters from the 
early 1990s and send them a message asking if they have posts that they 
authored that they would like to see reproduced in the Best of the 
List.  When we receive their posts, we will sort through them and select 
the ones that fit the content guidelines we have sketched out.

It is actually a simple process, but time consuming.



Take care,
Natasha
