Re: [-empyre-] Documenta?

[Christina McPhee <christina112@earthlink.net>]

dear -empyreans- , Michele, and Ana,

Thanks for asking about these structural and communications issues.

Please see below the latest press release from the Documenta Magazine  
Project.

The questions posed, though reasonable and deserving of response and  
discussion, are off the topic of "Bare Life."   Off topic posts are  
mentioned under our guidelines description at http://subtle.net/empyre.

I am happy to discuss editorial issues offlist and welcome any  
queries that you may have. Please note that the magazine contact  
details are at the bottom of the post.

The moderating team joins me in expressing sincere thanks to everyone  
for keeping our list conversation so active and engaged.

Christina
