I agree with that very negative assessment of Louis
"Nobleman" Proyect.

But of course it by no means was that person who in
the least of ways had anything to do with the Spoons'
now planning to close down their "Marxism space". 
They'd lived with that person "unproblematically" for
a long time. It has been the actually Marxist tendencies
that began to appear, from 1996 on, first on "M1"
and later on M-G, that have caused the fear and anger
of the Spooners' overlords. First, "M1", in connection
with and after the mid-1996 "Quispe" fight, where Marxism
so clearly won out, and then M-G, one of the *many* lists
with which "M1" was "replaced" in Oct 1996, where things
eventually got "even worse", as seen from the EBI/CIA
point of view, *those* were the *hate objects* of the
administrator group. Many postings over the months and
years have shown this.

A new list management should not only contain no Louis
Proyects but also no Spooners, in my opinion.
