I unsubscribed because the email provider I was using (Mailblocks) got bought by an evil company (AOL) who integrated its features into their email service and then threw it out.  I&#8217;m happily using Gmail now, but that&#8217;s neither here nor there.<\/p>\n<p>It took me awhile to resubscribe, and when I tried the other day I found out that Stumpers has become mysteriously defunct.  There&#8217;s no explanation on their webpage as to what happened, which was frustrating, but eventually I found out from <a title=\"Phil Bradley's Weblog\" href=\"http:\/\/philbradley.typepad.com\/phil_bradleys_weblog\/2006\/02\/stumpers_rememb.html\">Phil Bradley<\/a> that Stumpers still exists, if in a different incarnation.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"the Difficult Reference Question Mailing List\" href=\"http:\/\/project-wombat.org\/\">Project Wombat<\/a> is a much cooler name, in any case, and offers the same expertise for which Stumpers had long been known.  Perhaps the best part, if you simply have a question that you need answered, is that you can post your question to the list without being a subscriber.  But make sure you read their <a title=\"Posting Guidelines\" href=\"http:\/\/project-wombat.org\/posting_guidelines.shtml\">posting guidelines<\/a> before you do.  Think of it as helping them help you; and believe me, they are quite helpful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I subscribed for a time to the Stumpers mailing list, hosted by the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies at Dominican University since 1992.
