i don't either...but the echoing of regular structured power-dynamics in 
lists such as undercurrents seems strange.ly ironic.......

...i find this approach restrictive, that acts 2 compartmentalize the 
net.work in2 rigid, false dichotomies premised on the 
g][m][e][at][obody.........

i request 2 join undercurrents about a month or 2 ago, with the sub.c.quent 
reply asking me 2 questions;

1. wot i felt i could contribute 2 the list &
2. my biography

...the post also said they would consider my subscription & get back 2 me. 
i replied 2 their qs.

they didn't reply. i then sent 2 queries asking if they had considered my 
subscription. they still made no response. then after sending this 2 fact 
[that the undercurrents moderators hadn't bothered 2 get back 2 me] 2 
[syndicate] list, i received the following;

if this was the case, y ask 2 send answers 2 the screening info they 
requested initially? its this type of blatant moderator powa abuse that is 
killing the net; that is s.sentially creating x.clusive niche-driven 
info-pockets that perform according 2 stringent static data flow & 
cauterised subscriber input.......

that this comes from a list that pur[rr]ports 2 do x.actly the opposite 
absolutely confuses & re.volts me, & is correspondingly denigrating 2 all 
of those 'cyberfeminists' who actually struggle 2 realign powa 
dyn.a][ctualities][mics in such a medium that should n.courage fluid 
communication........

feel free 2 4ward this 2 the undercurrents list, anna. but i'd b highly 
surprised if they let it thru.
