In my further adventures at putting the word out I sent e-mail to a list of people, with the recipients all BCC’ed. Two responses I got saw it as spam, one forgiving, the other terse and reproving.

On the other hand, I got a forwarded e-mail calling on people to boycott Vita that had more addresses on it than god’s own mailing list.
And interestingly, whenever I get some mass e-mail from an unknown source, I look for my actual name in the list of recipients.
I guess we tolerate forwarded crap with much more forgiveness than e-mail that looks like a mass forwarding (by omitting the other recipients names – it looks comercial).

Courtney Love about Napster, record companies, the Internet and music piracy; transcript at Salon.
The same transcript on the Hole website (single file instead of 6 parts).

I posted lots of comments about it on the Warren Ellis Forum, because a lot of what she says about the music industry seemed appropriate to the comics industry.

Also, I figured out how to stick the ArmageddonCon banner in my sig, so it’s plastered all over that forum.

In one minor and ephermal thread, anyway.

Duh.

An interview with Grant Morisson by Warren Ellis.
God, this is the blog of a boring fanboy trainspotter.

Was on the radio last night at 3:40 AM reading a Lilith piece
and promoting The New Stage.
It was the same piece I read this Monday at the New Stage gathering.
I must get around to putting the Lilith thingies online sometime.

Also got a new computer, but that’s worth a full class rant.
