\\ In conclusion ...

[integer at www.god-emil.dk]

Dear Tom,

In conclusion, we wish to emphasize the importance of maintaining the public record,
inclusive of our and others' persistent struggle against the myopic Cycling74 Inc digital bandits and its affiliates.

As you have undoubtedly concluded, we have initiated legal action against Cycling74 Inc and its employees.

Although confident of our triumph, for some time, a victory in court, whilst meaningful to us, 
is but meaningless to this community, without continued access to our communal history, 
the historic record of this community,  where this community came from, 
where this community went, where this community is going, and reasons thereof.

We have sacrificed years of our personal lives for this community.
We wish to ensure public access to this record, here, elsewhere, for now, and graceful years to come.
It is crucial for us, it is crucial for future generations of artists, for future generations of explorers, 
for future generations of complete human beings.

We appeal to you, to ensure that the history of this community is not destroyed.
We appeal to you, to ensure that public access to this record, is not jeopardized by anyone, 
inclusive of, but not limited to, Cycling74 Inc, its employees, affiliates and agents.

Kind regards, Netochka Nezvanova

>>>i have been moderating the lev list for some time now, but as i need to 
>>>pare down, and as i have not much involvement in video, i will be 
>>>closing down the lev list.
>>
>>
>>
>>Tom, issues to consider:
>>
>>
>>1. Only two (2) days ago we had elucidated that LEV was the more suitable environment
>>   for discussion and debate of the "Cycling74 ISSUE" and the surrounding banditry,
>>   facilitated, encouraged and financed, directly or indirectly, by Cycling74 Inc and its employees.
>>
>>   A very abrupt decision to close LEV, arriving two (2) days after our announcement,
>>   gives life to question marks of stature high ... people may be suspicious
>>   of clandestine interventions by certain INC's
>>
>>   As history books teach us, Cycling74 Inc., on the very day it released Jitter,
>>   announced that its Internet server was hacked. The MAX forum was closed, and
>>   coincidentally, the MAX list archives disappeared, never to be seen again.
>>
>>
>>
>>2. Less than one year ago, you took the helm of LEV.
>>   Others volunteered at the time, yet you were chosen. 
>>
>>   We are sympathetic that the present need to "pare down" could not
>>   have been anticipated, however, we feel you have the responsibility,
>>   to at very least locate a new administrator, and our suggestion
>>   is administrators, representatives of both sexes and multiple nationalities,
>>   to ensure LEV does not become yet another puppet enclave of Cycling74 INC digital bandits.
>>
>>   We offer our assistance in locating qualified _persons.
>>   We stress the plural, for the epoch of one MAN standing before a classroom is a bit cliché,
>>   particularly when the realtime video software industry was lifed by women, brought to maturity
>>   by women, and its advances continue to be coordinated principally by women.
>>
>>
>>3. We wish to ensure that irrespective of LEV's future, the LEV archives
>>   will remain on line, available to all. If this isn't the case please 
>>   contact us. The LEV archives are an important [part missing = symbolic++] of this community's history,
>>   and anyone, inclusive Cycling74 INC, may not destroy this history,
>>   or in any way interfere with public access to this important record.
