dear tobias, dear nettimers,
i would merely like to congratulate tobias and the team in montreal
for organising the meeting! i don't really understand the bickering
and, tobias, don't worry, the fact that this meeting has taken place
is already a great achievement, after many years of trying to
Greetings from a lurker,
I guess if I don't chime in now, I never will. I just wanted to thank
Tobias for his report on the meeting. Finally someone has said a
few things that needed to come out. Now I am curious to see what
the reactions will be. Hopefully, this will start a constructive
I'll skip the comment on European levels of funding (I mean,
tobias, Canada is hardly an underfunded environment and seems rather
comfortable for a lot of people in Europe), but the questions raised
by tobias' remarks on events and funding as well as the intimidating
atmosphere on the list deserve
just in case it's not obvious the nettime problem continues to be
undue moderation people won't be bothered to compose posts (compost)
if they are blocked (constipation)

It's fascinating, funny and welcome, to read the debates arising from
the efforts of that long list of people whom Tobias has named as the
movers, shakers and happening-makers of nettime's assymetrical 10th
birthday party. Wish I could've made it. Thought about it but it
proved impossible. Sounds
Tobias - I regret I wasn't able to make it. I'm in a remote spot in
Switzerland at the moment, but followed the progress of the event with
interest. Glad to see that it went well! We should try something in
NYC. I think that the list has been a bit flat for a while, but hey,
there's always more
Yes, the NNA report was somewhat informative but smeared, obscured,
lipsmacked by the trivial sidebar complaint.
What fear, of what or whom? Truce for what, a minor snit sniffle,
piffle? And what is this illiteracy about stars and the little
nobodies aching to lick their shriveleds as if
Hello All,
greetings from Budapest, I was one of the few lucky ones to make it
(in the nick of time) to the Montreal meeting.
I found the presentations and the discussions very informative and
once more, it brought home to me that activism is a multilayered,
many faceted (and in our case often

Well,
now that the background noise seems to be moving to the foreground,
now that we have had the time to also see how much maybe was indeed
student whining and above all, now that it seems that a lot of people
are willing to discuss, what to do? This is the hard part...
Not sure but
There was a passionate point raised near the end of NNA, that just when
people begin to critically say something on/about nettime, discussion
quickly gets shut down, generally through the invocation of 'highbrow
theory' and/or 'academic references'. And while this is true to a certain
extent,
I want to agree w/ Brian here - nettime for me ironically has the status
of a book, not only because of peripheral publishing, but also because of
the functioning of the list, little chatter, more emendations, articles,
considered replies, some fecundity kept at a minimum. All of this would

But if our absence merely ended up paving the way for a 'private' --
through commission and omission -- event, can you tell me why exactly the
name nettime had or has anything to do with it?
Yikes..!
double-yikes, indeed!

Thanks Tobias for the report -- I was a bit dismayed to receive the
email announcing the stream too late to tune in, as I had wanted to.
Although many of the issues definitely hit home, I guess I have found
that nettime front-channel is what it is. I rely on it for noisy and

Let's say for the sake of argument that nettime is actually run by
Satan himself. Do his motives matter? For most subscribers' purposes
I think the answer is probably no. The very worst I could do is a pale
shadow by comparison with him, so it seems like my motives would be
that much less
