All the contributions were exceptionally well informed and thoughtful, and I came away understanding a lot more about Rob Holdstock’s work. While it was disappointing that Brian Aldiss could not be there, Paul Kincaid did a magnificent job. Please pass on thanks to everyone involved.

The best that I can come up with is a site that is supposed to have all their stories indexed by author. https://skydrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=492A5F281D521AAB&resid=492A5F281D521AAB!139

Many years ago I read a wonderful short story that has haunted me and I can not find, I have tried and tried to no avail.
It is about a man who is the first earth-man to discover a planet with wonderful almost Polynesian natives and he teaches them how to protect their planet when a not so scrupulous future corporation arrives, long after he is dead and buried. They are “primitive” but he gives them the proper legal knowledge to protect their world from such incursion.
Any way to find this story again, it would mean a lot to me. Thanks UL

Any words of wisdom, or instructions, or warnings, or agenda items you want to inform this panelist about? I confess I’m not a fan of Roland Barthe’s essay “The Death of the Auithor” and, after putting up with French critical theory during my career as a university professor I never expected to find myself on a panel discussing Barthe’s ideas at a Readercon affair. My head may explode, but other than that I look forward to the panel.
