[spectre] a message from inke and andreas, your spectre hosts

[Nina Czegledy]

dear Inke and Andreas,

this is just a brief note of grateful thanks for all
of your devoted and unselfish efforts on (previously)
the syndicate and now the spectre list.

 From the very beginnings I have (often quietly)
participated on these lists - most of the
information posted is invaluable especially for those
who work nomadly or are isolated from the hub.

thank you again
nina

>who met quite regularly at festivals and conferences in europe in 
>the later 1990s. these meetings, organised under the name of a 
>precursor to this list, the 'Syndicate', wove a dense web of 
>friendly relations among the two or three hundred subscribers at 
>that time. it still forms an important basis of how we situate our 
>work for the list, but with its now more than 1.100 subscribers the 
>spectre-list has of course turned much more anonymous.

>if you scan through the postings of the past months you get quite a 
>good idea of the spread of people and activities that make up this 
>rather virtual community. it would be nice if some people took up 
>the habit again of sending reports about trips or visits that they 
>make, since those kinds of reports are often the best information 
>sources you can get for understanding what is going on in a certain 
>city, or region.

>we hope that you appreciate the contributions to the list and would 
>like to encourage subscribers to sharing their own activities in the 
>field of art and media culture with the others.
