Hi Matt, Good to hear from you. I too have reflected on the old day on the MoQ. In my memory they take shape as Good old days in a way few reflection on the past do these days. I left the MoQ after Horse and Ant threaten to reveal my true name, which I thought was a betrayal of trust. I went to graduate school in communication but dropped out after a six years as an ABD with a master's, mostly because I got a full time teaching gig. I mostly taught Psychology but also classes in Communication and Philosophy. I retired last year and spent couple of months in Europe riding trains with my wife. We had similar plans this year but they have been delayed... There is a serious irony for me with respect to the MoQ. When I entered graduate school, I was averaging four or five page of writing a day for the community. Graduate school gave me writer's block. It was too focused, too controlled, it had to be done. Don't get me wrong I wrote a lot for graduate school but it was not for fun and other than being an asshole on Facebook I don't do it much these days. Anyway, love me or hate me I miss all of you, well most of you, fiercely. Krimel

I was just talking to a friend, outside, 8 feet away, on a fold-out chair I brought with me, and she brought up ZMM. We chatted a little while about it, and am going to give her one of the many copies I still have squirreled away. I haven't read it since I taught it in 2014, but I still think it is one of the most remarkably structured books. I've been teaching "close reading" for over 10 years now, and its responsiveness is a sign of its enduring quality of thought and feeling. But that's just, maybe, the required nostalgic overture. The real nostalgia I wanted to toss into this still pool was a Hello to any of my old friends and interlocutors who still receive these emails. I still feel that my participation many years ago was integral to my intellectual and stylistic growth. I hope everyone is well.
