Lurking behind objections to decontextualized ePoetry, and advocacy of
"anything goes" postings is a fundamental, and extremely simple question:

What is nettime?

<pseudo-ePoetry>
Nettime is not a gallery. Nettime is not public space. Nettime is not
private space. Nettime is not a museum. Nettime is not a field. Nettime is
not a magazine. Nettime is not a book. Nettime is not a diary. Nettime is
not a mirror. Nettime is not publishing. Nettime is not discussion.
Nettime is not broadcast. Nettime is not private. Nettime is not writing.
Nettime is not speaking. Nettime is not contextualized. Nettime is not
reference. Nettime is not beauty. Nettime is not vile. Nettime is not
lies. Nettime is not truth. Nettime is not breath. Nettime is not
asphyxiation. Nettime is not thought. Nettime is not ignorance. Nettime is
not wealth. Nettime is not poverty. Nettime is not local. Nettime is not
universal. Nettime is not art. Nettime is not vernacular. Nettime is not
subversion. Nettime is not power. Nettime is not sex. Nettime is not
abstinence. Nettime is not disposable. Nettime is not archival. Nettime is
not flesh. Nettime is not asomatic. Nettime is not advocacy. Nettime is
not prohibition. Nettime is not abstract. Nettime is not concrete. Nettime
is not cryptic. Nettime is not evident. Nettime is not transitory. Nettime
is not enduring. Nettime is not a beginning. Nettime is not an end.
Nettime is not you. Nettime is not me.
