In...Here is an opportunity to define what AMOC is. In Dave's response, he seems to want it both ways -- an arm's length from the site, but also seeing the site as a digital repository of Cerebus stuff for the post-mortem Dave. (Forgive me if I'm reading this wrong.)<br /><br />So here's a chance to define it. Is AMOC a fansite that happens to have the subject of the fandom as a contributing member of the site? Or is AMOC a quasi-arm of A-V the publisher that's curated by someone else, someone willing to devote the time to maintaining it as an online presence?<br /><br />(Let's not get into all of the Trump/NYT analogy, but suffice to say, the NYT has existed long before Trump [and hopefully will exist long after], whereas there would not be an AMOC without Dave having existed.)<br /><br />FWIW, in my view, AMOC should be mostly independent. If Dave, Sean, Carson, or anyone else directly connected with A-V is willing and able to share material, great, but if not, do whatever the editor wishes (within reason).<br /><br />For example, if Matt had Beavers strips from another source (say, the Captain Canuck issue they appeared, or any that may have been printed in Cerebus), he should run them if he wants to, as they are something worth running. I don't think Matt was saying that he wanted to scan and restore them for future publication, which is what Dave seems to be saying here, and would be an arm of A-V the publisher. He just wanted to share for now. If, in the future, someone restores them for posterity, those posts can be updated.<br /><br />And I should probably wrap it up there.Travis Pelkiehttp://www.atomicjunkshop.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-45984756529875063532017-11-16T05:03:10.721-06:002017-11-16T05:03:10.721-06:00I think, Jeff, if you do post your letters and res...I think, Jeff, if you do post your letters and responses again, you make sure that you're adding some value, i.e., contextualizing the letters by making sure we understand what was going on either in society or in the correspondence at the time. Dave's responses are part of the Collected Letters, but your letters and context won't be, so that's where your value is. That was an issue I had with the feature you were doing regardless of what happened when it was stopped, you weren't really adding anything to the letters at the time.Travis Pelkiehttp://www.atomicjunkshop.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-4499598728100931292017-11-15T23:36:25.185-06:002017-11-15T23:36:25.185-06:00Full disclosure:

Again, an eye-blink, but an additional eye-blink. Or, I could do it bi-weekly or monthly.<br /><br />So if you care to reverse a previous editor's decision, I could resume my weekly duty.<br /><br />Some people here actually said that they liked reading the letters...and I'm pretty sure Dave would not object.Jeffnoreply@blogger.com
