[extropy-chat] A new email list to bridge the gaps

[Joseph Bloch]

I confess I'm not entirely sure why the WTA internal fighting was 
brought up in the ExI chat list to begin with, but perhaps because the 
initiator felt his posts would be suppressed in the WTA fora. Still, 
they are not relevant to the Extropy Institute, and I feel it's unfair 
to inflict such carnage on another group, "sibling organization" or not.

Fortunately I have come up with something of a solution. Behold the 
Transhumanism_general email list, which is not associated with any 
organization. Completely independent, and a tad iconoclastic for all of 
that, but hopefully it will grow into something of its own, and be a 
place where the WTA and ExI (and, hopefully, those who don't find either 
organization to their taste) can find a common meeting-place.

I really hope folks will see this as an opportunity to get past not only 
the recent rancor, but the long-standing feud between the factions in >H 
circles. Let's use this as a way to come together, and emphasize our 
commonalities, and all help bring about the PostHuman world thereby.

Come, let's talk.
