Hi Karl and others.

This is my first post I am sure some of you have heard me from Michel Bauwens who has been on my Economics and Architecture of IP networks mail list for several years.  I wrote two entire issues on what you all are doing last year - august and october.  And not I have begun to read much more including Kevin's the home brew industrial revolution and soon marvin brown's Civilizing the Economy.

What you are doing is having a MAJOR impact on my analysis, but right now all i want to ask is what is your policy on taking quotes like the one from karl robillard below that i really like and sharing the either privately or withy my list?

anonymously, with specific attribution? with prior permission?  My normal tendency would be to copy the quote and author's name....  My list is private and i am the gate keep who keeps close watch on whom i let in.  My newsletter no longer really earns me money, i have found out that it is the community of folk I have built on the list.  I have been self employed for nearly 20 years.  Wife and i are on social security and medicare but you can live on that alone in thE us THESE DAYS.  (I am a hunt and peck typist who looks at the keyboard and not so often at screen that is why you will see all caps... where they don't belong. so please forgive my p[hat fingers.)  ;'-)

a year ago I would have called myself an FDR progressive. while i am not quite ready to call myself and anarchist libertarian, I am getting there. Having a 38 year old doctorate in russian 19th century intellectual history i understand kevin's references to Kropotkin and i am beginning to understand much better our betrayal by washington dc and obama.  I  am also thinking that the networks and knowledge that you are building is  the major hope for preventing an collapse.

Meanwhile i intend to lurk and learn as much as possible.
