just like the gallic village of asterix and obelix, the url http://post.thing.net still exists, a stubborn and outdated shabby place, wedged somewhere in-between the evil empires of facebook and twitter. most of the time its habitues are either asleep, eat wild boar cutlets, are busy with other stuff or simply too hung-over to make much noise. sometimes however, the one or the other feels the urge to raise his or her voice and opine on some matters of concern. then i dutifully go in, fix the broken image links and promote the creed to the front page.

Joseph Nechvatal's personal reminiscence of David Wojnarowicz at http://post.thing.net/node/4086

during times of data-mining empires it is generally a good thing to keep a low profile, a fake profile or no profile at all. let's keep it that way until the time is ripe to drink the magic potion and throw some hefty menhirs at the occupiers!

until then, keep your ears stiff and make sure troubadix keeps his mouth shut.
