Kevin and Ken’th (as you know), the list hasn’t always been this dire; when
I joined almost a decade ago, and for a few years, it was almost entirely to
do with Heidegger’s philosophy and at least philosophy, and was very lively
with dozens of posts and many threads running every day. But a certain
‘element’ has entered the list in order (it appears) to do nothing but rant
against both Heidegger and philosophy or at best just opinionate concerning
current events in a pseudo-journalistic manner. I haven’t wanted to write
seriously to the list for months and that is so depressing for me because it
used to be such an important part of my life (sad I know…).

But anyway, the only way for the quality and quantity to resume is for us
(who actually want to say something concerning Heidegger’s thinking that
isn’t slamming and banging away like chinashopbulls at Heidegger, thinking,
jews, muslims, amerika… whatever {philosophy is never ever slamming doors
in faces, but opening up to opening up}) to restart genuine and prolific
discussions of Heidegger’s thinking, fundamentally ignoring (not like me
just now: mea culpa) the distracting idiots with their spoilation noise
completely, leaving them to scream at/by themselves. What say you?

So, goodnight friends and foes alike.
