this list is not tao.ca.
it does not reflect tao.ca
it is merely hosted by tao.ca
we host over 400 different email lists

compreendo?

as well, we do not own any land, nor do we own the means of production.
thus by definition of the word, we are not bourgeois. rather we are a
combinaiton of lumpen and proletariat organizing in this class struggle.

nuff jargon for ya?

repeat: this list is not tao.ca
communicating to 'tao.ca' via this list is both useless, and counter to
the purposes of this list. please refrain, and find the appropriate fora
to to address and engage the many workers behind tao.ca

that is a very fair question, but this is not the fora to either ask or
answer it. i encourage you to take more time to browse our site, and
assess our many email lists. as well, do not take the words of any
individual @tao.ca as the words of tao.ca.

if you want to talk to some of us live, we have an irc server at
irc.tao.ca

after seeing your link to our mountain section, i felt it important to
update it (later today)
