Posts to mailing lists, 1997–1998
75 messages of mine, recovered from the sent mail of an old workstation
The lists were public and their archives have mostly vanished with their hosts: MakeList and eGroups are gone, the Escuela Libre forum lived on a university server, the World Systems Network archive at Colorado is offline. What survives is my own side of the conversations, kept in the Netscape mailbox of the Telefónica years. Each page gives the posts sent to a list address, with quoted material from other people removed and their addresses omitted.

Related here: the list memberships of 1994–2004, the history, culture and society page, where the MEMORIA threads on the Cave of Salamanca, Lilith and foundation myths reappear as later essays, and the libretto texts of the same years, among them Para Memoria (Re: Susto), a draft for the list that survived on the laptop as well as in the mailbox.
Related reading elsewhere: the World-Systems Archive at Riverside and the Journal of World-Systems Research continue the conversation the WSN thread belonged to; the RA Forum is what became of the Research on Anarchism list; and the politica folder of the same years shows the reading behind the FEEL and RA-L posts.
