From THE PERCY-L GUIDELINES WELCOME MESSAGE

Percy-L: Literary and Philosophical Discussion

SECTION A. GENERAL POLICIES

The Percy-L forum is open to the discussion of all topics pertaining to the work and thought of the American novelist and philosopher Walker Percy. Students, general readers, and scholars are all welcome, as well as simply the curious. There is no standing agenda for the list except the promotion of commentary of the sort that one would expect from people with a special interest in Percy.  As such, the list will remain unmoderated unless some future reason requires it. A diverse range of critical perspectives is therefore welcomed, if not encouraged, as long as the manner and method of _expression_ are responsible and respectful of the parties they are addressed to, as well as the larger list membership as a whole.

SECTION F. SPECIAL DISCUSSION CONSIDERATIONS

In order to keep discussion focused on Percy subjects, please observe the following discussion guidelines:

1) Avoid introducing what might be considered partisan political topics, unless they directly bear on or are consciously correlated to Percy and his thought. This rule does not exclude current events from discussion, but merely underscores that this is a listserv dedicated to Percy topics, not personal political agendas.
