Nice resource! I always admire fellow archivists who document the ephemeral! ;-) 
It is things like this that ensure a bit more balanced histories are preserved 
(more balanced than the typical academic line)... Of course, some vital threads 
of netart had their genesis in the mailart impulse, to be sure: Networkers all!

Right, yes, I've known Clemente for a couple decades on the network (longer 
even??). Sometimes it's hard to reconstruct 'first meetings' within the "Eternal 
Network"!

Cheers, & thanks again!
