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. <br><br>
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.<br><br>
It is actually a simple process, but time consuming.<br><br>

Take care,<br>
