But I don't see it as the purpose of this list to start 
from list philosophy in general, cyberspace 
interactions in general.  We already have a forum for 
this: cybermind.   
 
 
--- I'll keep repeating myself till you get what I, for one, 
am saying. (Not till I get what I want...) I'm saying have the list as "riding 
the theory/action" slash. I'm not saying: center on proposing, 
nor am I saying, "start with philosophy". I'm saying, 
activate the difference between the two and operate in the 
tension/activation. Yes, the list may have originated with 
the intention of its being a proposal list, but what can you 
expect from a membership of largely people who read what is 
called philosophy? I say, the best way to handle things is a 
list that is about both doing and thinking, action and 
theory, proposing and reflecting, etc.
