Re: <nettime> radio nettime: 8 Sept 2019 12:00-13:00 |
Hi Felix, I am confused about the source and scope of the perceived threat that has led to the perception of such urgency to shut down the list. I must ask what it is about the current dynamics that the erstwhile leaders find so threatening. Perhaps it is because I have not been around Nettime back in the twentieth century, but I see nothing wrong with it. In fact, I like it as it is. If the maintainer of the mailing list server would like to quit for whatever reason, then I for one would be happy to take up the task. I'm sure I'm not alone. In fact, I'd run a mailing list for the oldster-tribe just as readily as I'd run a mailing list for the youngster-tribe. I don't have a horse in this race, just bewilderment about what people find so objectionable.
