Hei Kim & fellow microsounders...

well, it is definitely a reality that FaceBook has sucked the oxygen from a vast 
majority of public conversations. I think it is a pity. As an early adopter for 
many years (and as a 'new media' educator and long-time network performance 
artist), I checked out FB between 2006-11 and then closed my account for a 
variety of reasons -- including their data-harvesting policies and the 
insistence that one do everything 'their way'. Of course, one can argue that the 
NSA is collecting everything anyway, so who cares about Zuckerberg doing the 
same thing...

oh well, I guess if the mailing list goes away, then I for one, perhaps the only 
one, will no longer have a microsonic voice :-\  Everything has a life-time, and 
dinosaurs do die...

cheers, and the conversation has been nice while it lasted!

Cheers,
JOhn
