[KS] Korean Studies List Administrative Announcement

[jeffrey c. kotanchick]

excellent notice and appreciate your hard work moderating.  many of the
discussion have the potential to devolve into something much less than
academic, so your hard work moderating doesn't go unnoticed to "peepers"
like myself.  thanks again for a very enjoyable listserve.

respectfully,

jeff
