Hi all, I've been a Wiki groupie for years, but don't often contribute (sorry!). A recent VfD discussion which I did contribute to (Paul_J_Moss) convinced me to register at last.

Go the Bruins!

my web activity
look we are all entitled to our opinion, its a free world and all that, we are quite priviledged to have this luxury though, and to be able to share. we all have our own personal reality, beliefs and values, I respect that.. but spam is an email thing mostly, there was very little on the web when i started out creating aurora australis stuff, and my pages brought in aurora reports as they happened, via phone and email. The text message i got back in November 2001 enabled the world to share some fantastic images, not otherwise available from the southern hemisphere. I kept the .govt and .edu etc web logs to remember the response. There is little auroral activity right now, and I'm just as interested in sky phenomena anyway.. my email list of permission granted aurora watchers and the phone list i participate in, in both NZ and Australia, make it all worthwhile. i dont, I wont, and I have never spammed emails and phone calls. What would be the point? if you upset people you cant convey any message at all. so in the end what does it matter whether that page is removed or not? its not going to make any differnece to the FACT that everything that is said there is TRUE and verifiable. if it upsets people then it can be deleted, thats fairly simple. There is more to this though, a rich mine of human behaviour that is quite facinating, and I believe accounts for the growth. My experiment continues with or without wiki, thats the wonderful thing about democracy, and paying for web space with out paid ads. nobody has ever given me any money for anything i ever did on th eweb, its just a huge experiential learning space, sharing space...  NASA was quite happy to publish my many photos of astronomical phenomena, so whats all the fuss about, its a storm in a teacup because i dared to challenge the establishment, yeah the NEW establishment, wierd really, all that stuff we said would happen back in the 70's is about to smack us in the face. any way thanks for removing your emotive piece, i have done the same often, its funny how strongly we believe and feel about stuff, great really. its curious how wiki and astronomy seem to bring out the passionate ones, it seems born of fear as much as justice though, maybe there are other communities that are similiar, i will consider that more.. paul moss moza 08:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
