nina, i take the liberty to comment on your message anyway, since i fail
to get the joke.
why override the good intention? why narrow it down to your favourite
prejudices? everybody who posts here and makes him- or herself visible
to others would (in this "convivial dream nettime") be a potential
mentor; if you want morlock or alice to check up on you posting, go
ahead, and if you prefer a panos or jaromil, go through them. (it's only
an idea to suggest that it might sometimes be a good move to first ask
somebody else whether it's the right thing to post, now...)
it looks like some lurkers here are waiting for encouragement, rather
than a slap in the face.
"best" what?

Dear Andreas,
I know you mean it in a good way and are simply speculating...
...but just as little reminder - "mentor system": Yikes, that is
the perfect tool to render it most likely that hierarchies reproduce
themselves. It is gonna be like the vatican then. o_O
Also, as the problem of the list has been so far that it was mostly
white men "in their best years" (not saying old, am against ageism
ever since i start to turn old myself ;)) who are posting here,
what would be the solution: Older men mentoring younger women??

panos, friends,
i like this idea, especially because it highlights what is valuable
about many of the exchanges that include the conviviality of arguing.
(once upon a time, in the later 1990s, there was a string of such
meetings... [incl. big arguments about joint projects like the READ ME
publication])
i also like how panos's proposal gives a mild hint that loneliness might
be one of the ghosts that have haunted nettimers in the last months, or
longer.
maybe instead of creating a strict rule ("no single-author e-mails"),
panos's suggestion can be taken as an encouragement for all of us people
before posting: to whom can i show this before it gets posted?
so, "ideally", any message would come from a relay-person, a mentor
chosen by the author...
ok, i see the problems of such a system, but i like the feeling of being
in this "convivial dream nettime" for a while... ;-)
