well - you've been a member and I don't remember having seen a lot of 
you - why don't you post more? The failure of a list is simply the 
list's failure not that of a chosen few who should be charged with its 
constant sucess!!

we all have different list experiences but I have to say that the ones 
I'm on at the moment (6 others) are going at a slower pace than 
fibreculture. These range from arts, curating, reading groups and urban 
studies and are located in Britain, Europe, Australia, US and India.
Actually one I'm on, I'm not even sure if it is still going, hasn't had 
a posting to it for about a year!! I really like this list - it's very 
considered ;-)

Personally I like the ebb and flow of lists - not constant 
"coming-at-ya" tempo. I get that from my tv set and from radio.

I completely disagree that dynamism = speed.

for me, the dynamics of list cultures include many moments of boredom, 
drag and unresolved conflict.

I'd be interested in hearing what others have to say about list tempo 
and dynamics. This is a subject I'm interested in researching as part 
of a broader "distributed aesthetics" project
