Again speaking for myself I’ve found it useful subscribing to this NETlist and indeed unless I’d done so secretFLUXUS might well have remained a mystery, and the DEADLYsecret , it was to me some months ago. Now that might not have been a BADthing but I guess my life is a little richer for the experience and as for my PhD Thesis, it’s going nicely thank you.
May I suggest that if you are not finding enough then perhaps you are not turning over enough rocks to look under – euphemistically speaking. Or maybe it’s that you are not adding much so there is much less to take away. And anyway, why would/should a discussion about such things become uncomfortable?
Now in regard to your unhappiness there are some things, very positive things, that you can do about that and we could all start a list right here and now and see how long it could get:
- Possibility # Z4_1116: Start a NETlist totally dedicated to a singular view of an attitude
- Possibility # Z4b_1116/a: Start a NETlist totally dedicated to the serious investigation of nothing
- Possibility # Z4c_1116/b: Start a NETlist totally dedicated to the serious investigation of somethingness
- Possibility # Z1_11111/x: Do all of the above
- Possibility # Y6_66-69: Say something outrageous and stand back
- Possibility # Y6/b_66-69-a: Say something outrageous and keep saying it
- Possibility # Y6/c_66-69-b: Think something outrageous and tell someone
- Possibility # Z75_7765: Find a friend and ask them if it’s Monday
- Possibility # Z75/a_7765-2: Find a cook and ask her/him how to mix eggs and butter or something – artistically!
- Possibility # DA42_00042: Contemplate 42 and tree planting in both this and reverse order
- Possibility # A54_8963: Reduce the circle of acquaintances you engage with and insist on talking about rain.
- Possibility # KK1_0066: Invest in pictures of light by America’s most famous artists
- Possibility # Zz1_0001: Seek alternative visions of the same
Unfortunately I’m moving away from the edge slightly and going to Australia for a week or so. Therefore, I’ll not be able engage deeply in this discourse unless it’s still going when I return to the edge, CYBERaccess is restored and theSPAM has not drowned it. The risks we take and now I’ve got to and go pack my safety gear and fill my wallet.

BTW: it’s SILLYweek – a compound noun but more to the point it’s worldSILLYweek – a compound idea if not a confounding one

Friends,
We have just read three complete issues of Fluxlist Digest without reading a
single issue, idea, or topic on Fluxus or anything related to it. We read
some poems, some word games about wobbly grinks and vital defects, the
announcement for a video show and something about silly week.
While there is nothing wrong with this, there is nothing interesting or
useful either. This is the kind of material one expects to see on Yahoo mail
art chat lists. We subscribed to Fluxlist hoping for something better.
Is anyone here interested in Fluxus? We subscribed based on the Fluxlist
statement of purpose, but it seems that these purposes do not reflect the
current interests of ist members. We would be interested to know why the
others here subscribe. At risk of launching an uncomfortable discussion, we
want to ask whether others are as unhappy as we are with a list that has
nothing to do with Fluxus.
Secret Fluxus
