[New-Poetry] CAP-L began in 199X?

[Tony Trigilio]

I came up against this same question awhile back, when I needed to find 
an archive for CAP-L.  I eventually found an archive page . . . itself 
archived at:

http://web.archive.org/web/20010513012828/myweb.packet.net/schaeff/capl/welcome.html

Problem was, I couldn't get anything from the individual links on this 
page.  So I couldn't hunt down the original post I wanted.  If anyone 
knows of a working archive for CAP-L, please backchannel me.

As for the origins of CAP-L, the page above archives CAP-L messages from 
July 1995 onward, but also notes that it's "missing the first couple of 
years' archives."

But I did find an old Humanities List posting from December 1994, saying 
that CAP-L had just started 
(http://lists.village.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v08/0342.html).

Best,
Tony
