Don't ask me why or how, but a bunch of messages on xmission just burped
out from Sep. 16th.... which is why Steve's response came out to the
list now.

Subject: (associates) Senior Associates mailing list on death's door
Hi,
The Senior Associates mailing list that I created here at xmission
will soon close, unless people start actively using it.
This list never really took off because Foresight never really
bothered to tell anyone about the list and the few people who did know
about it never really started any discussions here.
Its rather disappointing to me personally that Foresight chose to
put so much energy into things like "palace chat" and so-on rather
than pursue the main "internet killer app" format of a mailing list.
Perhaps I'm just a technology laggard, but things like crit and
nanodot just don't spark as much interest in me as a relatively "low
tech" mailing list. Its very trendy tehse days to webify all
possible interaction with the computer, but this isn't necessarily a
good thing.
My intent in creating this mailing list was to provide a forum where
SAs could discuss nanotechnology issues in a dufus-free forum (i.e.
we wouldn't have to spend lots of energies explaining why nanotech is
feasible and/or probable in the near future). Public forums on
nanotech always seem to suffer from the dufus factor and it was my
additional hope that this forum would allow for cogent discussions
among SAs themselves before/after group meetings and so-on.
However, this list can't go anywhere if Foresight isn't interested in
telling Senior Associates about its existence -- I don't have a list
of all the SAs mail addresses in order to tell them myself. AFAIK it
hasn't ever been mentioned in any of Eric's letters to SAs nor is it
ever mentioned at any of the gatherings or on any of Foresight's
literature sent to SAs. That pretty much guarantees that noone will
use it since they remain ignorant of its existence.
So unless those few of you who are on this list start using it as a
forum for discussion among SAs, I will close this list in the next few
weeks.
-- Rich
