laclan, it was not a warning. if you received a warning from me for any action involving systems I work with it would be very clear as to its intent and it would probably first arrive in writing via the mail, most likely certified. Below contrary to your intuition and portrayal is my attempt to help you in some manner to further your project. what I was suggesting in my message, and which you so thankfully ignored is the insight that if you wish to act in a way that is intended to bring about some critical moment or to attain whatever your goals may be, that you try to do it in a manner that that minimally sustains your project. For instance, a flagrant misappropriation of a helpful e-mail, which was offered to you personally, in most lists, would be considered a horrible breach of list etiquette, yet in your project you clearly, for no apparent reason, forgo such common understandings for a higher purpose. Which, as I say below, seems to me to undermine your project and make it appear like it is being put forth by someone somewhat unfamiliar with the ways lists and the communities around them work, in other words a 'newbie'. In most lists for such actions, you would be dropped in a kill-file until you demonstrated merits to do otherwise, but this is a list that entertains a plurality of voice and I think you should have your voice and be able to try to achieve your purpose. A voice though, I'm sure you would agree, is only as powerful as those listening. I remember precisely your introduction and while I believe that you have every intention of appropriate action. I find it unconvincing that while you could have such a solid background in matters relating to the internet and culture that you cannot discern help from harm, nor proper usage from improper. A list, Lachlan, is meant for the list, and an e-mail is meant to be e-mail. If you wish to take this matter up further feel free to talk to others, because unlike the list, I do have a kill file in my e-mail and I have no problems using it. If you want removed from it, you know what to do. complaints regarding messages on this list pursuant to this can be logged to air-l-admin@aoir.org people who would like advice as to how to set up a kill-file or similar apparatus for their system can contact me in the usual ways.
you may want to refrain from doing the personal material via the list re your last barry comment. While i think doing it does satisfy a certain point of theory, it also probably undermines the point of that theory, the 'newbie' appearance... it causes people to ignore. I am pretty sure that you are against being ignored. jeremy hunsinger jhuns@vt.edu on the ibook www.cddc.vt.edu www.cddc.vt.edu/jeremy www.dromocracy.com
