OK Natasha, if you wish to keep demarcations .... I am prepared to swap
extropia.net for the posthuman.com
domains.
I think it is a great hypocrisy coming from an organisation that does (or
use to) run an ezine called "Posthuman Lounge."
On the subject of "misrepresentations." ... it is the Extropian/ trans
notion of "Posthuman" as some non-attainable future
state who actually are misrepresenting the term. For correct understanding
see http://www.multi.co.uk/identity.htm
Here is recent correspondence forwarded from posthuman@yahoogroups.com list
Fraternally,
Steve Nichols

Hi Natasha
As a philosophical idealist I think !everything! is subjective. As for
erroneous, please give me any examples and I will change them if you are
correct.
As for the title, I prefer to keep a fairly abstract heading, but already
have the subheading "Official Journal of the Post-Human Movement" so I think
that clearly distinguishes Extropia.net from Extropy or any Transhuman
title. Am deliberately punning on "Utopia" associations, and would sound
rubbish as "Postopia" ....
Any contributions, letters, thoughts that you have am sure could be posted
on the zine ....
Best
Steve

One of the challenges with your online-zine is that it has many
misrepresentations in it. On each page, I found an issue or subject that is
at the least subjective and at the most erroneous.
If you want to have a zine that is both educational and entertaining, my
suggestion is to present it as either a one-person's view of posthumanity
with editorial quotes and commentary from you, the editor, or invite people
to write for the zine who have varied views which are developed in and
around the theme of posthumanity. What about having a title that catches
the contents of posthumans more expressly such as Posthumanity?
Thanks,
Natasha Vita-More
