hello
I must admit I can't see clearly through the issue to my own
satisfaction. the suggestion was intended to make things simpler /for
everyone.
The way cooperatives work seems to be a model: anyone can become a
member (whatever the criteria for this may be: interest, small fee,
living in a certain area, profession..), then there are paid managers &
staff, then volunteer managers and staff and then non-members who
utilize services off & on. the hierarchy is unavoidable. some orgs try
to tackle this head-on and devise elaborate procedures to level the
ground for everyone. its always elaborate /almost never simple.
In an age of fees, and self-reflection, we must ask ourselves the
question: what is a superuser? super-user, super peruser of [Raw],
super-v-iser of [Art+Text], eavesdropper of noise, steward of
information, body without organ, a rhizomic spirit with function ..
lets ask our experts in rhizomiconomics in rhizomicity rachel and feisal
about their views on selection and comlimentary behavior.
cheers

Subject: RHIZOME_SUPERUSING: complimentary
it does make some sense… but at the same time i'm
uneasy about the kind of hierarchy that's set up. i
mean, is anyone able to be a superuser if they want to
be? i'm not saying that a system of preferences is
bad, but determining "complimentary access" for
selected people seems strange. i don't know, maybe
it's not… most other non-profits i've worked
for/with had similar volunteer privileges, though
being a volunteer was not a very selective process.
?
best, ryan
>dear rhizomers, superusers, and countrymen
I suggest superuers should get complimentary access
for contributing.
please second me.
thanks and best wishes.
long live the rhizome!
