Dear Nicolas,
I apologise for this late reply to your message that was sent to the
memetics list on the 23rd of July. I was unaware of it until today, when I
was checking through my old emails.
You wrote:

I subsequently went to check if I had violated any protocols and found the
following at the site
(http://www.cpm.mmu.ac.uk/jom-emit/memetics/about.html#sending)
"Sending to the list
To post to the list, so that your contribution is automatically distributed
to all list members e-mail it to memetics@mmu.ac.uk (assuming you have
already subscribed)."
Clearly, I had not violated any protocols. It's just that you didn't like my
post very much (for whatever reason). If anyone wishes to screen certain
types of posts, then the list should be moderated and it should be clearly
designated as such. What you are proposing is anti-democratic, and I don't
buy into it. So long as I am on this list, I will reply to whatever message
I want to, to the very same email address that everyone else is entitled to.
I do not need anyone's permission to do so. If you don't like this, then the
list manager has the power to bar me from membership to this list. And if
that is the sort of list he (they) wishes to manage, then that is the sort
of list I want no part of - and we'll all be happy.
(I assume that Mr Schulmann's extraordinary message has the backing of the
managers of this list - otherwise I would have simply laughed it off as
irrelevant)
Unbelievable.
