i was so disappointed on 1998 when the Beat-L was over so quick w/out a really reason.

of course che ArchiveControversy was a great debate, historical too, but alot of people were on Beat-L and topics can be changed by itself with patience & peace. my opinion is that was a personal bitterness among the moderators of the List to kill the list. (the the death of ginsberg and burroughs in '97 were a great moment to commemorate thebeat generation ... anyway... thing goes so ... tears among the rain in cyberspace)

in a way B-L resorted as Subterraneans but with the explicit censored point dont spek abt ArchiveControversy, so it was over in short lapse of time.

great time, good time never back again
