The list has been dead for days because everyone is flaming over
on RGMA.  My philosophy grad student friend found the panoptic piece
interesting..although I don't have a clue as to the philosophical
ramifications of all of it.

As for the other posts...very spamy, but interesting in their own ways.
It does give a snapshot of the psyche of the M** environment, which is
something you should understand if you wish to create an environment in
which to sustain such beings.

If you want to discuss something..then lay it out, don't expect us to just
tell you stuff w/out yer asking!
