<nettime> apologies

[Alan Sondheim <sondheim@panix.com>]

I want to apologize for not participating so much in the discussions 
around netartizens; we just finished (today) a long-term intensive 
collaborative (Azure Carter, Kathleen Ottinger, and myself) residency at 
the Brown University Cave, out of which I have about 10 gigabytes of 
material to deal with, and in three days I'm performing locally with Azure 
and Luke Damrosch at a non-profit venue here. After that we're recording 
another cd, hopefully working in the Cave again, and driving out west to 
deliver some of my instruments to a musical instrument museum. So it's not 
lack of interest, but projects which are gobbling up my time for the next 
month or so - ironically, they're all collaborative, just not online.
I do want to say something about email lists - I find them the ideal 
medium for long-term discussions, since they have the capacity for deep 
and longer responses than, say, Fb; they also come with a leaner menu, 
less trolling, less distractions, and buffering which give participants 
the possibility of thinking through more complex replies. The archives and 
text-based presentations (for the most part) also make it easy to go 
through the conversational flow and retrievals...

- Alan, apologies, writing on just about 0 sleep
