You consider it spam because you don't agree with the political message or the idea of people working for a better world. However, if it had been a subject which was acceptable to your standards as a self-made moderator, then everything would have been wonderful in Kansas. Click your heels please, you're not in Kansas. People are going to work for a better world whether you like it or not. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Although there is something ironic about an organization that wants to establish world peace through education and communication without bothering to pay attention to netiquette. Seems like that would've been an obvious first step in making peace on Usenet, anyway. ;-) -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

We believe in the need to reflect and imagine the future of the world beyond capitalism.

By building on the increasing number of conferences worldwide in which people from diverse backgrounds, races and cultures discuss subjects regarding world peace, we hope to build solidarity among diverse organizing communities. Over 1000 participants from Canada, Kenya, Mexico, Ghana, Germany, the U.S. and all over the world will come together in harmony in Portland, Oregon in August 2005 to share ideas regarding new visions, changing the world, the cooperative movement, intentional communities and much, much more. Come and be a part of this tremendous occasion. Activist, Punks, Minority and Marginalized Communities from Alternative medicine healers and activists, Intentional communities, Permaculture Homes, co-ops, independent publishing communities, progressive activist groups and other equality seeking groups are invited to volunteer, table, or just fellowship, network and learn with every one from all over the world. There will also be a performance of live, multicultural musicians and a theatrical debut prior to the conference. August 26-28, 2005, Portland State University, Portland, Oregon. Not only is this a conference, but it is a multi-lingual, multi-racial alliance building experience. This conference will create alliances in a manner which transcends the boundaries of the English Language, Race, Class, Gender, Age, Ability, Sexual Orientation and Endless Theory. In addition, The Grassroots Exhibition enables non-government and non-corporate people and groups of many different types the chance to come together in solidarity.

This must be a joke (and please please be a joke like the recent viral website competition[1] that featured crying while eating and blogebrity) In addition to ridiculous language and quotes like: Nothing could be more important than war if war could kill everything the website has no contact phone numbers, and requires singup before they will even tell you the exact details of the location. The '.info' domain also defeats the linux 'whois' command to dig for registrar info. The spaminess of the advertising also marks it as a not-real conference. I cry farce!
