more accurate maybe than the term "gatekeepers" is the phrase "gateways and their keepers": except it's long and clumsy


gatekeepers is about keeping stuff out and people away from stuff: but these acknowledgments are about people who have coaxed you through and in among stuff

i use -- and seem via s.reynolds to have made semi-popular -- the word "portals", but i woould use this not of people so much as things people write or say or sing... which makes them portal-operators
