Dear List, I'd like to thank Jim Ruxton for posting the notice concerning "Body/Machine". I would like to point out, though my name is mentioned, my partner's Frieder Weiß (or Weiss) is not. I mention this because it happens _all the time_. We work as a partnership, and yet his name is often missing, or is deeper in the text than mine. Art-oriented technologists are often less counted or less mentioned than technology-oriented artists, which, given the nature of our work, is completely unfair.
