Shouldn't you be striving to be informative to >this person, not just internal-list-politics nerds? i may not be serious enough, but i found the little vignette funny and i think that that sort of crap actually belongs on the moderated list too, so that the newbies and the old-net-timers are reminded that this is not an information service for the net-worriers [sic], but a messy and mixed list with people who have all sorts of twisted interests in and relations with each other, on- and off-line, some of which get expressed in fine rhetoric, others in aNt!-korPoRAT inventions. even virtual collectives only become subjects through a certain degree of self-referentiality. long live redundancy, rhythm and refrain. -a _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
