Don, I was not aware of your involvement with RBCC.  I did know that you
had a column in the Comics Buyer's Guide (CBG).  Why not offer your index
to them?  I do not see any reason why they would not publish it, although
it would be best in serial form.

Here's a crazy idea:  (Think Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland as teenagers)

Everyone sends Mr. Rosa a stamped, self addressed envelope (or, if to be
sent air-mail, include a dollar bill instead of stamps).  

Mr. Rosa photocopies his Disney index and mails a copy to everyone who
asked for it.

Then, all of us who get a copy would get together, and each of us would
take part of the list, and word-process it.  Then we would mail it to a
central source, where the list would be assembled and archived, thereby
earning us the gratitude of future generations.

What do you all think?
