Re: Distributed creativity

The senders name is not appearing when the DC-3 message comes thru Raw,
as you might have noticed. You can't tell who's saying what. Can this be
remedied? Thx.

Otherwise we may be forced to read and agree with people we never read and
but know we don't agree with.

I think its just a practical point -the list format
can be confusing enough as it is.
The lack of names makes it difficult to see exactly
how an argument is being developed- you can't see the
flow of argumant and counter-argument or not at least
without considerable forensic efforts.
Personally , although I'm pretty patient and
tenacious, this tends to make me lose interest in what
perhaps could be an interesting exercise.
I suspect I'm not alone in this - there doesn't seems
to have been the cross pollination that one might have
hoped for between the two lists.

For a community list of individuals with established identities,
anonymity does not help build trust.
For a new community, particularly a politically active one, It might be
good to have an anonymising list, where nobody knows who's saying what.
It might well eliminate trolling, and might allow people greater
freedom to express themselves.

Note use of the word "might". :-)

Eryk:
Your comment might be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but taken seriously it's a
generalization. I actually don't filter people out on lists even when I
know, generally speaking, what perspectives they are (usually) coming
from. Its because I do take the time to read what they have to say. I
check my predictability algorithm here. There are always fresh new
things although a lot is also predictable.

The problem I was having with DC mails wasn't just about who was saying
what, but what they continue to say in an exchange. (is it still patrick
who is saying this, maybe the initials are in the introduction of the
moderators… ) When someone is explaining a position in 2 or 3
successive emails, if these emails are as anonymous as the replies and
other observatory emails (having no author identity at all) it does
become a tangled web. One can follow threads only as part of text of
emails by any number of people (that is by going thru them) without any
differentiation of author id. My guess is its not deliberately done on
the DC list - it might be the crossposting eliminating the whole header,
that might be the problem. The emails are anonymized probably without
authorial consent! (unless they have a signature)

Rob:
Anonymity on new lists, or established aliases on older lists are
equally good if one wants to say something anonymously. Also one can
always sign up with another id, as people were doing anyway earlier this
year.

Unrelated to this it was unfortunate that people started having
meaningless arguments. One had to start ignoring a lot of those
kandinkii-joseph mails hoping the exchange would die away. Also the
introduction of membership fees had a predictable thining out effect.

This is ridiculous. Talk about invading a community with no sense of
who the eff is talking.
People, turkeys aside, this is not working from the Rhizome list.

I spoke with Richard Chung yesterday and he told me he's going to see if he can't play with the From: header to change the name part to switch to the name of the person who's speaking. So although all those messages will come from the same email address, they'll have different names and so should show up as distinct in your email client.
