| Re: <nettime> Summary of today's meeting |
Hi Joe (and nettimers friends), Likewise. I used to be a well member at the same era, kicking discussions out from my telnet window. This was a fantastic and - oddly enough - friendly place. It was a vibrant scene, I miss those years spending nights reading unending rants on tty, just like a ga-ga Mercury listening to the radio. I have been a nettime lurker for the past 25 years or so, sometimes a bit distant from some discussions, sometimes deeply into them. I guess it’s the first or the second time I write here but I never felt I had something interesting enough to share with you folks. Nettime is part of my growing, over the years. There’s no conclusion whatsoever. All the best to all of you.

This could be accessed by a text client, or a web interface, which is what I used. As an example of an online forum, it was a flourishing, exuberant space, with many active conversations going on simultaneously in many subjects. The forum format worked very well, it was civilised and convivial, and I miss it. Members in the San Francisco area got together on occasion. > > Are there other people on Nettime who used the Well, or similar spaces? > > Have a good weekend ! - > Joe. > > > >> Le 15 juil. 2023 à 11:52, Geoffrey Goodell via Nettime-tmp <nettime-tmp@mail.ljudmila.org> a écrit : >> >> Dear John, new mods, and all -- >> >> Congratulations on reaching consensus on a plan to migrate to a new list and >> manage the list going forward.
