Ralph,

when it comes to the name question(s)
> What the hell is thaxis?  A new sci-fi movie?

all I can say is that it's either a new japanese luxury automobile or
european bank (which tries to get credibility by using classicist
name) or it's a name for newest marxism list. AS a list name it's
either an acronym for THe Authentic marXISm list, or it's a pseudonym
created in a tense situation... it even might refer to words 'theory'
and 'praxis'... Well, and seriously, there were several alternatives
and we played with them a bit, but when Chris threw 'thaxis' in as one
possibility I simply went nuts. Funny, short, and as such meaningless
word: great name for something (possibly) new. Now it's up to those
people, who'll sub and contribute to the list, what it will really
mean.

> Who's going to sub*scribe to this?

That I surely cannot answer. Time will tell if anybody, besides us 171
who's already... err, sorry, 172, tobe exact. Now I realised Chris has
already answered to your questions and this post is insignificant...

Jukka
