It is like any paper or article; if all works had to publish simontaneously the works they referenced, then each small academic paper of 10-20 pages would end up being about 1000+ pages. Lord knows how long a fully documented book would turn out to be. > europe-online or nettime and i will argue against it. Please try to focus > on real issues because my written english is not the point imho. BTW: Are Who said your English was the point? If you are talking about the [sic] comments I put in, they are standard academic procedure to show the reader that what I was quoting was the original, and the mistakes that are found has nothing to do with me or their computer. It has nothing to do with criticizing your English, either. You may write in English how you wish. I am sure I make mistakes as well, and don't mind if these are pointed out. > you affiliated with the Soros Foundation in any way? No, not at all. In fact, I am sure some Soros people might be a little angry with me about an article I wrote criticizing them. Please check Telepolis for the article entitled "The Soros Network". > Let's start a flame war ;-) Well, if you must. But I prefer to do it on grounds of constructive criticism and logical analysis rather than emotional whims. If you are interested in merely an emotional barrage of text, forget it. Please criticize my article by pointing out the inconsistencies and adding any new facts that I have left out or may have overlooked. I am open to new ideas and learning about things. My interest is to get at the truth as close as possible, not to prove myself right at all costs. Bye for now, John PS: When including text, please only include those that are necessary. For instance, in the mail I received from you I had a copy of my article. It is a little annoying and time consuming going over and deleting unnecessary text. -- * distributed via nettime-l : no commercial use without permission * <nettime> is a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, * collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets * more info: majordomo@is.in-berlin.de and "info nettime" in the msg body * URL: http://www.desk.nl/~nettime/ contact: nettime-owner@is.in-berlin.de
