T-AMLIT (teaching American literature) is another possibility, but there is no "free" discussion. The moderator(s) decide(s) what goes through and what doesn't, and then it is "cut," "censored," and otherwise "condensed" to fit into a designated theme. And on top of that, I've seen very little reference to Twain. I'd also like to know any other addresses. Are there any other groups as lively as this one? clr
