THE IFWP IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE AN OPEN LIST. NO ONE HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF THE LIST. Some people may not have been receiving their mail due to errors in our nameserver entries, which would cause your ISP to reject messages from the list. These technical problems, they are my fault, and should be fixed by now. If you have a question as to your status on this list, or are having trouble receiving mail, feel free to contact me directly. I will fix it. My name and phone number are on this message, my personal email is in the footer of every message. I do respond promptly to problems. The DNS and TLD conspiracy theories that populate this list should not extend to the management of the list itself. This is an open and honestly-run list. -- Andy _________________________________________ Andy Sernovitz -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Association for Interactive Media 1301 Connecticut Ave., NW, 5th Floor Washington, DC 20036 202-408-0008 / fax: 202-408-0111 http://www.interactivehq.org _________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Zittrain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 01, 1999 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Jim Dixon; Richard J. Sexton; Andy Sernovitz Subject: Open/closed mailing lists Jim and Richard, If IFWP is now a closed list, and involuntarily purged of certain earlier members, I'll stop posting to it and ask to be de-subscribed myself. As the graf of my msg you quote below suggests, I certainly don't/didn't mean to post exclusively to IFWP even with it as an open list--though I did mean to stay within the bounds of netiquette as I understand it by not cross-posting general discussion to a bunch of lists. I'll certainly post all membership-related stuff to open-rsc. Andy, you run the list, right? Is what Jim says true? ...JZ At 10:09 AM 1/1/99 , you wrote: >On Thu, 31 Dec 1998, Jonathan Zittrain wrote: > >> I'm sure we'll post our round of questions and answers to as many existing >> lists as make sense and whose owners don't mind.
