Dear Laurie,
This Neo/Nazi/white/power/want/to/startnewsgroup/shit has been posted to
my mailbox at the least 20 times in the past 20 months. And there is
always someone responding on some list that this was a case of free
speech & it was their right etc
So there are at least two positive points to this durable piece of
disinformation:

a) people won't forget to discuss the main issue of free speech.

b)Concerning nettime it is a welcome diverson from the ongoing
"cunts"/discourse 
 
sincerely yours
Erich
