Robert T is quite right. To forestall any queries on this point, the reason why the Lit Weekend transcripts are not published in Mixed Moss is because (1) they are lengthy, and would take up virtually the whole magazine, to the exclusion of articles by members; (2) there is not a huge demand for the transcripts, and it seems that many members would much prefer the wide range of material which is normally contained in Mixed Moss. I base my statement that there is not a huge demand for the transcripts on the fact that they do not sell well in the TARS shop - this is a known fact. (Nevertheless, I personally hope that the 2005 transcripts will be published in separate form, as usual.)
Just one more thing - when people say 'these should be published . .' please remember that that means work for someone. All TARS editors are unpaid volunteers, and editing transcripts of talks (which can be fairly rough and ready) is time-consuming, as is all preparation of AR-related material. More TARS editorial volunteers would be very welcome!
