I totally share Peter’s remark, my disappointment is surely not towards the TEI initiative, which is more than laudable. I’ve just
become more political in my thinking lately.

I also will not be going principally for financial reasons, although I recognize that TEI is a non-profit organization that makes its materials available free on the internet and is not making a buck off of us. This is one of the reasons
I use TEI Ms. to catalog mss. and not some new cataloguing conventions recently established in the U.S. Still I appreciate Camillo's sentiments about conferences and publishers that do profit off the work of scholars.
Yours,
Peter
