for me, posting has become rather one-way which is kind

wasted energy, that conversation disappears, replaced by
one-way postings which are fine, but pass by one another.
i forget about the exchanges like these, which make lists
superior in terms of conversing and ideas, and yet for a
list about design it is rather dead. many years of ideas
shared and an archive full of such things (which is great
the way it is recirculated as content on list by Steve),
yet where is this leading in terms of fostering exchange
and on what, exactly. for instance, i am reading a book
by Paul Shepheard mentioned on the list previously, book
Artificial Love, and would normally post about it to see
if others are reading it, yet it is basically guaranteed
either no-one is or no-one will respond either which way.
recently i've considered the idea of writing an open-book
on architecture as a future project (years away) and yet
to discuss this now, in the current architecture climate
is somewhat bounded by how social networks are organized
and participate and do or do not/are unable to cooperate.
it seems isolation and alienation are even greater today
than i imagined, as Michael states about ideas and blogs
and lists and exchanges. there may be a middle-area where
a BBS-style forum could be between a list and a blog and
maybe the images/urls are not as important yet it would
seem to be in the same genre of exchange, who will write,
what will be written, and how relevant is it to others?
maybe it is architecture itself, witnessing the present
moment and vacuity of the entire established BS regime,
professional bullshitters one and all, its own commerce.
maybe it is most productive not to participate at all,
and thus a list which chirps may instead be hibernating
rather than dying, waiting it out until new ideas emerge.
yet when will the death-stake be driven through the mean-
spirited heartlessness of the current ways of perceiving.
the politics that drive architecture also drive policies.
nary a voice of expertise to counter the ongoing madness
at risk to home, property, family, or 'lifestyle'. fuck.
is a list like this really intended to be viewed the way a blog is? i think that the options presented by being able to use real markup would be nice, and ideas might be communicated better, but is the intention to just push ideas out into the open?
i would say that there are already plenty of venues for doing that. a quality exchange is often based on at least some insulation.
