Subject: M-TH: Re: a modest proposal


Scott:

" Time has come for Spoons to create a new listserv:  Proyect-L, an 
unmoderated group for people deeply preoccupied with Louis Proyect. 
Subscribers would be allowed to post as frequently as they feel 
compelled -- or to post the same message over and over.  The 
never-to-be-wearied-of question of market socialism could be thrashed 
out at length.  The revisionism of the Sandanistas could be denounced 
with grea polemical gusto.  The absorbing "puffy shirt" question will 
fascinate everyone. And of course it would give Louis Proyect  a 
chance to polish his stand-up act before touring the Catskills. 

I assume it is just a matter of changing the name of Marxism-Thaxis. "

Malgosia:

" I don't think this proposal goes far enough, but it has potential. 
I think people on proyect-l should be _required_, not just allowed, 
to post over and over again.  Moreover, nobody should ever be allowed 
to unsub*scribe from the list. And we could sub*scribe to it all the 
other compulsive repetitious nuts from all the other Spoon lists, to 
dwell and thrive together. " 

Jukka: 

Proposal is great. Perhaps Spoons will start immediately working on 
it? 

However, there's one nasty problem: what do we do with the remaining 
ca. 95 subscribers of thaxis? They have done nothing to deserve such a 
punishment... 

My suggestion: let's take a deep breath and meditate for awhile the 
most fundamental trend western civilization can offer right now - 
scientology, and its deepest preachers, such as Tom Cruise, Nicole 
Kidman, John Travolta, and possibly Oliver Stone - and then we can 
begin a new thread concerning ... [you name it]
