<nettime> thumbs (as though there weren't more serious things...)

[Sadie Plant <sadie {AT} plants.demon.co.uk>]

just to set the record straight - my mobile report makes a tiny 
reference to people using thumbs to input data, and makes absolutely no 
mention of mutations, Lamark, genetic leaps, or any of the other wild 
assertions made in the mainstream media - and now perpetuated on nettime 
too!

on the funding front: like Coco, Mark Dery seems to think that there is 
some value-neutral money available somewhere - do people really believe 
that their work is "truly independent"  when it is funded by the 
government? Surely nettimers are not so naive.
