...patrick, i c this _evolving world of creative net.production & the 
re-weaving of corresponding power-dynamics_  as n.nately reflected in the 
very x.tended avenues of potential communication n.hancement/alteration 
that the net][wurk][ offers, s.pecially in terms of the establishment of 
another email list based on a traditional n.et][hical][tique/ academic 
debate-&-banter-d.fined method of discourse.....i hope that this n.nitial 
empyre gestation/dynamic definition period won't slowly crystallize in2 a 
regular theory-email-list-comm route without attempts 2 x.amine the 
dynamics & potentials of a space such as this.......of course, it has been 
made abundantly clear that this is melinda's list in terms of moderation & 
direction.......so i'm sure u'll il.luminate us regarding this, mel;)

....my hopes 4 the list is that a wurkable ][oscillating][middle-point can 
b found where the list won't descend in2 garbled spam-driven non-cogitative 
typology but also that it can resist predictable reiterative slippage in2 
rigid academia-disc][ursive][ourse mapping.....

..and on that note, its back 2 ][the net][wurk.......
