A "Jedi" can apologize for being wrong. The sith "dealing in absolutes"."

by spectral imix

A "Sith"-like attitude insists on an innate "goodness" and "badness" (or more appropriately "us-ness" and "them-ness") in everything. The "Jedi" understand that no object or action is intrinsically good or evil. Intention and effect matter, turning black and white into shades of gray. The fundamental difference between the sides is not "good" and "evil". (Everyone has the potential for both.) The real difference is between a desire to control one's environment for personal power and security, … [View More]

Table at Oakland Nights Live?

Sudo-ers, I mailed this list a couple weeks ago, but wanted to ask again. For the next Oakland Nights Live, on the evening of November 9th, we are having a series of booths to visit rather than a proper stage show. There will be a variety artists, performers, and informers who will interact with a few audience members at a time.

temporary email suspensions

by Eddan Katz

That having been said, I also would stand by Marc's actions. There should be some way to put a temporary suspension on an email address in the immediate term to stop a barrage of emails as a cooling off mechanism. I think it's worth acknowledging how thankless a job running a listserv can be and thank Marc for doing it for as long as he has, with very little help, and while being admirably responsive.

Re: [sudo-discuss] cargo tricycle & burley bike trailer on CL

Could this proposed list be more broadly a community marketplace, that allows people to offer their goods or services specifically to the sub-section of Sudo folks opt-in interested?
