Subject: list etiquette

Hi,

I've been asked to articulate the etiquette for this email list.

1) Please keep postings brief, occasional, to the point and on topic.

2) No ad hominem attacks.

Those have been the basic principles since I've been on the list - well
=
before I became list owner.

It is a seldom used but inalienable right of the list owner to boot =
participants who stray from this.

Subject: London Meeting March 8-12, 2004

There will be a "Movable Feast" of informal meetings of
scholars and scientists from "The Two Cultures" at
a private club, Pubs, hotel lobbies, Indian restaurants,
and university classrooms in London on the frontiers of physics
including consciousness and the paranormal as well
as the new cosmology that Tim Ferris talked about in Austin.
Nobel Laureate in Physics, Brian Josephson ,from Cambridge,
will attend some of them discussing
his ideas on consciousness and the paranormal.
The content of these informal meetings will be flexible depending
on the interests of the participants. Writers of Science Fiction
are encouraged to attend as are artists in cyberspace, even
literary critics. If you will be in London then and are
interested send e-mail to
sarfatti@well.com

Thanks :-) Terminator is Governor of California. The boundary between 
science fiction and science is getting more and more uncertain. Look at 
NOVA's "The Elegant Universe" with Brian Greene talking to ET in brane 
world next door exactly like the cartoons in my book "Destiny Matrix" a 
year earlier - that book BTW is not sci fi it is real history.
