As most of you know, this little list was my idea just over a year
ago. Richard Jensen got whiff of it and invited me into the H-Net
fold, where H-CivWar has happily resided since last summer.
For a year now I have maintained and run the list with the capable
help of a great board of editors -- Vernon Burton, Jane Censer,
Tom Powers, Dave Hedrick, Kit Rushing, Sarah Elbert, and Richard
Lowe and Peter Knupfer.
We recently passed the 400-member mark -- a wonderful achievement in
less than a year. We have had some very interesting discussions and
have created a useful Archive, Research Topic Catalogue, and the like.
For the discussion group to continue to grow and improve, however,
I have decided to take on two comoderators: Richard Lowe and Peter Knupfer.
Both Richard and Peter have shown a great deal of savvy with e-communcation,
and both have good ideas for the future of the list. The three of
us will trade off moderating duties, and I will continue to run the
technical aspects of the list.
I will forward introductory statements from Richard and Peter, and I
hope you will all join me in welcoming their effort --
Robert Harris
