The Outline on Political Economy (OPE-L) mailing list began

=========================================
In September, 1995 we began with 11 subscribers. There are now
89 members and, including former members, 112 people have
subscribed to OPE-L. [a full listing appears below.]
The 11 founding members were from 4 countries. We are now --
and have been for many years -- a very international list (currently with
members in twenty-one [21] countries).
Tens of thousands of posts have been written on virtually every (?)
controversial topic in political economy. And, as I remarked last year
at this time, "somehow we continue to find new topics to discuss."
We have members representing the overwhelming amount of Marxian
theoretical perspectives and international intellectual and political
traditions.Yet, we have managed to maintain an ongoing and comradely
discussion and exchange of perspectives.
There is much that I could write about the history and meaning of
OPE-L, but I think this should be an occasion where we celebrate
*together* and each give our insights into what we as a collaborative
group have been able to create and maintain. Accordingly, I am
asking that you contribute by writing posts that concern the following
questions:
* Have you benefited from your membership in OPE-L? If so, how?
* What do you think will be the most lasting contributions of this list?
I.e. how will the last ten years of OPE-L be remembered -- both by
those who are members and those who are archive readers?
* What were the most enlightening, memorable, and/or worthwhile
discussions that we have had?
* What suggestions do you have about how the list can be improved?
* What topics should we discuss as a group that we either haven't
discussed yet or haven't given adequate consideration to?
In other words, let's celebrate this occasion by having a discussion
on what OPE-L means to you and others and where we go from here.
In solidarity, Jerry
PS: As it happens, today is -- this year -- also a holiday in the US:
Labor Day. Happy Labor Day!
