excuse me? where did i write this?
i just asked brad to stop spamming
that's all. in the past we have approved
many message of brad on the nettime list
and this only proves that he can contribute
to a discussion, like others....

no, it is not at all unworthy.
it is just not very cleaver of brad to spam
a young starting list with his self promotion
which is not related to the topic here
at least, brad has not made it clear (yet)

i would never boycott or expell brad.
he just should slow down, or at least delay
his self-promotion.
best, geert
