dear Mark Stahlman and others

sorry about jumping in like this, I follow the various conversation  
on this list and at times feel a great irritation at the flippant  
manner in which words are bantered about.

how bizarre to hear people railing against machines and other devices  
that somehow materialised during the 20th century when the very  
discourses they are engaged in is facilitated by 'machines'  
technologies' 'inventions' and a vast array of 20th century  
paraphernalia - not only is this some kind of simplistic Luddite  
rubbish but also the kind of apolitical posturing that is hermetic  
and not at all constructive.
