The other day, I met a very interesting person, Dr Axel Brun, also here in Brisbane, Australia, who is also on this list and posted a while back...and he met at least one other person, also from Brisbane, on this list that he didn't know previously. so you never know. I'd say leave it open for now. I've been on this list since 2000 and posted maybe three times Mark White -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Burkhardt Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 12:55 PM To: Peer-to-Peer Journalism Subject: Re: [P2PJ] Should this list be shut down? Hi Erik, I'm still on this list. I'm afraid I don't have anything interesting to say, but I'm always hopeful that someone else will contribute something worth discussing... I'm glad the Infoanarchy wiki is still up and alive, I haven't check it out in a very long time. I'm not worried about one virus email coming in through this list when I've got 1500+ junk emails a day from elsewhere. Sorry that doesn't help you decide whether to keep the list going or not. I admit there is a good chance I wouldn't notice if it disappeared, but I also think it might have some potential yet... Anybody else still interested in discussing stuff here? - Chris On Aug 9, 2004, at 1:03 PM, Erik Moeller wrote: > First, apologies for the couple of email viruses that got through.
