Well, I guess I cant disagree with that.  I would not like to see
Anarchy magazine dissapear.  They seem to be genuinely siscere people.
I just diasgree with some of their ideas.

Yeah, I really mostly was dissapointed with the Green Anarchist
editor interview and the attacks on people who didnt support the
Unabomber. I would like people to remember that regardless of the
public's perception that he was for "anarchy", most real anarchists didnt
like or agree with him.

Anyuone who wants to join that anarchism mailing-list that carp is
on, see instructions on how to join at:

Also, Iain, which list is it that you are having an argument with
James Donald?  Can you give subscription instructions?
Is it the Spooner-L list that all the anarcho-capitalists are on?
