Hi Rob, I remember receiving an email from the Karen Blissett, the anonymous feminist collective. Asking if I could help get them onto the Nettime & Spectre mailing list. This was couple of years ago. Apparently, they tried to join but were not allowed to by the list administrators (something like that). Anyway, it was all during the rise of Anonymous as well, so there was probably a worry regarding then political situations happening at the time.
I know some of them are still on this list. It would be nice to see their antics emerge again. Especially now, when everything is tightening up and totalitarian procedures by corporations and their lackeys, the governments are closing everything decent down on the Internet. wishing you well. marc > On 19/09/13 08:59 AM, marc garrett wrote: >> >> regarding multi-identities. >> >> I know there are users of this list who have different identities on-line.. > > I have a couple of identities, mostly for MUDding. > > I'm myself on mailing lists, or at least I use my own name.
