Thanks to Conversant, the excellent system I use to manage this website, you’ve always been able to subscribe to the site via email. Unfortunately, until now the method for doing so has been buried deeply in the member preference pages. But now if you’d like to participate in the goings-on here, all you have to do is to send an email to McMains-subscribe@free-conversant.com. This will create an account for you if you don’t have one already and subscribe you to the email version of the site. Conversely, if you get tired of the informed and elucidatory discussions that go on here and prefer to return to the dark night of loneliness and ignorance, you can do so by sending an email to McMains-unsubscribe@free-conversant.com.
