-<content>Dear Inke and Andreas,
-
-I have been a rather 'silent' member on your ex-Syndicate list. After the
-unpleasant events with Miss nn et al., I abandoned the Syndicate list and
-I gladly joined the Spectre list you created. I do appreciate time you
-took in writing to all of us about the summer events on the old Syndicate
-list. I actually did not have a clear idea what was really going on except
-that I was sensing that SOMETHING was going wrong with the virtual
-community you created. I did not know who the nn-crowd was and what they
-really wanted.
-
-Even though I was not a very active member of the Syndicate, I always
-appreciated the pieces of information you provided. THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO
-ANDREAS and INKE FOR YOUR WORK. And since I am an artist and a doctoral
-student who is always 'on the run', I regret that fact that when nn
-abusive e-mails where polluting my e-mail box I was simply deleting them
-and kept going on with my busy life in-between languages, countries and
-cultures. (I do not live on internet).
-
-Your e-mail Inke MADE ME understand that the silence of the members is no
-longer possible. Yes, we DO have certain responsibilities to each other,
-we-virtual and invisible specters. I think that your e-mail touches on a
-very critical issue of ethical and aesthetic responsibilities of virtual
-e-mails that have never been dealt successfully (at least to my
-knowledge).
-
-Well, now when I finally CAME OUT what would be my/our next step?
-
-I believe that all the Spectre subscribes share certain responsibilities
-to each others (it is already voiced in Inke's mail) and I am not sure
-what to propose given the large number of member of Specters. We cannot
-send each others personal e-mails and start interdicting each other - it
-would create a virtual chaos! But I strongly believe that we have to DO
-something.  As a flamboyant artist I would say: "Hey, who/where are you?
-Let's go for a drink and talk about art!" Unfortunately it can only remain
-a rhetoric call.  The only thing I CAN do right now is to VOICE my virtual
-presence more often on the Specter's list because I have great respect to
-people who work very hard to make sure that we get important and wonderful
-information about our cultural and political status quo.
-
-Thank you and best wishes to Inke, Andreas and all the 250 (+) member of
-the Specter,
-
