--- From: Andy Carvin <acarvinat_private> To: "'declanat_private'" <declanat_private> Subject: introducing the GULFWAR-2 list Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2003 09:14:31 -0500 Hi Declan, I just wanted to let you know I've set up a new listserv for people to share news from the war. I was the coordinator of the SEPT11INFO list on September 11, and I thought it would be a good idea to set up a similar independent forum today. thanks, Andy Carvin acarvinat_private Introducing the GULFWAR-2 Discussion Group (please feel free to redistribute) As the war in Iraq enters its first full official day, I have decided to volunteer and establish GULFWAR-2, an email forum to give people around the world the opportunity to share news, questions and comments about the war directly with each other. I am especially interested in seeing the discussion group used as a way of disseminating news from non-mainstream, alternative media outlets, though news from all sources will be welcome. I am not setting up this list specifically as either a pro-war or anti-war forum, but merely a place where people can share information and ideas with each other and engage in constructive discussion. The forum itself is independent of any funding or political/organizational affiliation. For the immediate short term the list will be unmoderated in order to allow for the most rapid distribution of news and information; if it becomes warranted later on, I may enlist a group of volunteers moderators to help manage the flow of traffic. To join the list, simply send an email to gulfwar-2-subscribeat_private You'll then be added to the list. You can also join the list or follow the discussion via the list's homepage on yahoogroups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gulfwar-2/ If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email. Thanks for your interest, ac *********************************** Andy Carvin Senior Associate Benton Foundation acarvinat_private http://www.benton.org http://www.digitalopportunity.org http://www.digitaldividenetwork.org *********************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
