1. I am not sure that this list is going to continue as an OPEN list (I am going to temporarily close it to new subscriptions--to prevent people like Eric Anderson from re-joining), and 2. if it continues as an OPEN list it is going to be under more active management and intervention (i.e., we're going to kick off people who are only here to put us down, people who are ONLY here to promote themselves, and anyone who is overly contentious). All tough judgment calls, but I am prepared to take the responsibility for making them. We're going to be strongly wrong rather than weakly right about this stuff. I'm acting as if we/Fluxlist has six months to live and six months to do some things...to go somewhere...that we don't have time to be patient with negative energy and grinding axes. Roger Stevens nailed it, I think, in his recent post, "Fluxus Party."
I hope people who do not agree with these changes will simply leave the list. Go find or start another one. Email discussion groups are not a limited resource.

Yes. As I have also stated backchannel: it is wrong to exclude people from an open list./:b On Thu, 2 Jan 2003, Bertrand Clavez wrote: > Dear Allen, > > I can't believe you've thrown away these fluxlisters! > and if this is the case, I can't agree with such a choice. > Tell me that I'm wrong in my inderstanding of this post. > Best > Bertrand
