You are right - I certainly have a tendency for quick solutions, 
considerably if it comes to technology that disrupts activities I like 
(like reading mails on nettime). Thus I simply thought a technical 
solution to restore the technical channel is a precondition for debating 
the future of nettime with all people on the list.

BTW: I don't really want to be the moderator of the list unless that's 
really necessary. But obviously, technology and power are connected. 
Thus this:

reminds me that I forgot to properly introduce myself. Since my name is 
easy to find on the net, I would like to add only two little remarks you 
won't find online (yet): (1) My first computer was a C64, and I learned 
programming on an Apple II at school. After school, I studied education, 
information science and psychology. In that time, when digital 
communication for political purposes means using BBS systems like the 
FIDO Network, I became member of the executive board of the not longer 
existing IKÖ (society for information ecology), a society, that 
cooperated with the still existing FIFF (https://blog.fiff.de/). In 
other terms: A politically motivated creative use of technology based on 
critical thinking has been important for me for quite a while. (2) 
Today, I feel some tendency to pick up Noam Chomskys political opinions 
about media. In other terms: If there 's something really I would like 
to hijack, it's the OECD. But that's another issue...
