I really dislike getting personal on these lists, but this matter has gotten out of hand, and must be addressed. Jim Fleming has started emailing lots of people lately with the request that his statement in the DNS Voices section of Media Visions be removed. He has sent his removal request to Esther Dyson plus all of those who contributed to that report. (The report was prepared in late 1997 to help Esther Dyson get up to speed on DNS issues, this after we met and talked in Denver during her book tour, and today those diverse statements are mostly outdated), [SEE: http://www.media-visions.com/newdom1.html) Jim's also making remarks about dark motives, and he's apparently thinking I'm really Esther Dyson (see below), plus he's sending emails to me personally with ideas that only he understands (an obsession with 4 an 8). I am quite happy to delete his contribution to the report, and i will do my best to get this done ASAP, but I wonder why JIm can't quite get it into his head that the webzine is a solo project, that I'm the only person producing the publication, that it's really pointless for him to send his requests to others, that Esther Dyson does not run my web magazine. that I'm the only person responsible, Jim, I've told you privately, and now I tell you publically, please get grounded in reality. And, I repeat, please don't bother others with things that don't involve them. Your confusion here only harms your own credibility. And to those of you being emailed by Jim Fleming, while I'm not accountable for his irrationality, I still apologize, nevertheless, that's he's bugging you.
