If you're speaking to me * this topic is not public * I have not used the f-word in the public topic * Even before I asked I was planning on being more mindful, more demure in the public channel

This topic is not public?
Oops.
Everything posted in any Inkwell.vue topic is publicly viewable. I mean, it's maybe less likely randos will visit this topic, but it's not private.

It's publicly viewable, but it's unlikely that anyone who is not a member of the WELL will see it, because it's not being linked anywhere.

It is visible ... but it's not obvious how to get here And then you have to find the last page. <https://people.well.com/conf/inkwell.vue/topics/1/Inkwell-Business-page09.html >
Back to the original question: for me, Larry, I'm treating it as I would any topic in any conf. On good behavior but not like, you know, when you have guests you clean the house for and are careful not to cuss. No point in that.

Just to be clear, when I said "let it all hang out," I was speaking as co-host of the conference.
This is an extremely Well-like discussion.
Hah, great observation.
The word "pioneer" gets thrown around fairly promisuously, owing to the increasingly rapid development life cycles of so many transformative technologies, but one true arrows-in-the-back pioneer in the adoption of computer mediated communications (what led to social media; you're soaking in it) is Lee <lee> Felsenstein. Among his many other notable accomplishments, his was reportedly the Well's third user account. And now he's written and self published a book about it: "Me and My Big Ideas Counterculture, Social Media, and the Future. It chronicles the early days of of what we would come to unironically label "cyberspace", from one of the first intrepid infonauts. Lee will be our featured guest author in <inkwell.vue> beginning January 28 and continuing for two weeks, although I expect a long tail to follow. We're looking for a few good readers to read the book and then participate in the discussion. If you're interested in joining the discussion and would like a review copy (pdf) of the book, send email to inkwell@well.com with Lee Felsenstein in the subject. Save the date! And don't miss the annual State of the World discussion in the new year, followed by a State of the Media roundtable featuring the Well's embarrassment of riches in the media professionals department.
