As of now, Roy's just put it up on the InTheBar mailing list. InTheBar has limited distribution/membership...and it has the distinction of being the mailing list that broke me.
Before InTheBar, I read all messages posted to every fannish list I'm on. Y'know how traffic ebbs and flows, how a discussion will break out and suddenly a list will top 1,000 or 2,000 messages in a month and then drop back down to its usual lower traffic levels? InTheBar has averaged 4,000-6,000 messages a month...for more than two years now. The list is well named -- it's like being in a noisy bar pretty much all the time. Membership is primarily Brit fans from the '60s and '70s, many of them gafiated for as long as Roy had been. There are a handful of likely suspects from this side of the Pond.
If I hear that it's going to be published, I'll do my best to mention where to look for it. And if no one asks for it in a day or two, I'll suggest to Roy that he consider putting it up directly via eFanzines.com. I think it would read well to a wider audience, though it would probably benefit from a bit more explanation in a few places since there are several casual references indicative of a report written for a known audience.
