Actually, you should have sent this to the NYC FC mailing list, located at <http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nyc>, which you can post to at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I told you before that this is an international mailing list with many many people who are not located anywhere near NYC (including myself), and I asked you relatively nicely to stop posting your local events to an international mailing list.
I am now banning you from posting to this mailing list, and if anyone wants to read your e-mails, they can go to <http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nyc> and subscribe there.
