What I had hoped that the list could do would be to collectively develop a
nonsectarian analysis that would be helpful in both expanding the number of
activists and helping them formulate actions. Again, I was frightfully
naïve
when I heard about email lists in the early 1980s, I believe. My informant
about this new technology was Sam Lanfranco, who later went on to start the
labor list. My first recruit to the list was Michael Lebowitz. At least, I
can take pride in that choice.

Unfortunately, list culture tends to foster atomistic,
self-aggrandising behaviour which is entirely contrary tothe original
hopes. Maybe it is possible to try to counter this by a few baby
steps--- eg., by attempting to identify a few subjects that might be
useful to pursue in a cooperative and collective manner and then seeing
if there are subgroups within the list willing to give these a try.
