Subject: encoded files--PLEASE READ


The spoon collective tends to discourage the posting of encoded files to
its l*sts.

This is because most people don't have the knowhow or the technology to
view them, and they take up space and appear as meaningless junk. 
(Believe it or not, we tend to be against the posting of meaningless junk
to our l*sts.)

Anyhow, and sorry to be a party-pooper etc., the pictures of Marcelina
and Luis are in fact of Jerry Lewis--respectively in drag at a bar and in
a boxing ring.  You can view them at

I enclose an ascii version of the picture of Jay.

8J=A0--

I have often thought, however, that we should have some kind of special
space for the fiction that is often posted to the l*st--Louis' adventures
as cattle hand, Adolfo's poems, Hans' parables (and of course, if we made
our definition of fiction a little more relaxed, we would have a rich
vein to mine).

Perhaps also for those interested we could arrange for the exchange of
pictures and other encoded files.

Or even a lonely hearts column?  Announcements of births, marriages and
deaths?  Ride board?

Why should the marxism l*st not expand to be an all-round service for the
inter-networked left?

Take care

Jon
