Angela, et al.

   AIR-L unsubscribed me when I sent the following
message:


Subject Line: Whites Only Pedophile Club?

Jeremy, 
I believe you unsubscribed me, please explain. 

It is clear that my intervention 
brought about by a discussion in January 
concerning the revision and erasure of email archives and a comment by Sean Cubitt 
"One day the world will mourn the loss of 
my juvenelia" has been of interest to 
many members. 

It is also clear that one reaction to 
this intervention was a displacement thread 
concerning unsolicited mail from West Africa. 

My questioning of this displacement 
led to a discussion about identity and 
search technologies raised by Barry Wellman. 


When I questioned further the meaning of 
the word 'juvenilia' in the context of 
widespread abuse in the IT industry, in education as well as in commerce, a great many 
questions began to arise, some on other lists, 
some on this list. 


The list is productively considering 
a greater range of questions than it had 
previously, and there is the emergence 
of a set of pictures of Internet that are 
very much in the public interest. 

At this point you unsubscibed lachlan@london.com. 

The process of questioning to lead to 
the emergence of a culture influencing not only Internet but culture at large is in the 
interests of the public. 

I request therefore that you do not 
hinder my intervention but help it.
