[lbo-talk] nettime rules

[oudeis]

totally bizarro. nettime is a space that's so completely hostile to
actual discussion with anyone i find it hard to understand why this
new rule has surfaced. 75% of the list seems to be all about
forwarding. The notion  that i should specify why i send it to that
list instead of any other one is... I'm stunned. They have a corner on
some space that makes it so unique that you would only think to post
something to one list and NO other list? how bizarro.

it's just that we try to encourage people to make forwards specific to
nettime, to avoid nettime becoming a forwarding channel, so just a
sentence or two (or more, if you like) why you think think this is of
interest to nettime, rather than any other email list.
