Triumph

2005-12-21 Dear Comrades, The story of Evo Morales’ election victory in Bolivia is not a hard one to understand. It is simple and beautiful. It is a reminder that the tide of liberation is still flowing. Che Guevara died in Bolivia in 1967. Well burrowed, old mole! Google group as distribution system for the Communist University Google have accepted the first hundred or so names into the group but have switched the remaining 300 over to “Invitations”. The good side of this decision is that nobody will be able to complain that they did not get the option to refuse (but the option was already there anyway). The less good side is that I will not easily be able to know who is on which list or to finalise the process for a long time to come – unless you all respond quickly and positively. Please do so as soon as you can. In other words, by trying to save you trouble, Google have put you to the trouble of subscribing to the new list. I must now maintain the old lists and eliminate the names one by one as they appear on the new (Google group) list. It will be a lot more work for me. You can help me by responding positively and quickly. Please do. Please also be patient if you are receiving two versions – inform me and I will eliminate the old one. Just to remind you, the new system works like this: I put the items for the day on the CU wikispace web site. I then compose a message (like the one you are reading now), with links to the articles, and put it on the CU blog. The blog automatically sends one e-mail to the Google group. The group then automatically sends the message on to its list of addresses. People can join and leave the group’s list at will at any time. Members of the group cannot send messages to the group. It is not that kind of group. It is only a relay. This system is the one suggested by Google (Blogger) in their “Help”. I have enough experience of it now to be sure that Google is correct with their advice and that the system works very well. I would recommend it to anyone. Please help make it happen by responding quickly so that the change-over can be completed soon. If you are already receiving messages without attachments, you don’t have to respond. If you have any questions at all, please e-mail me.

Yours in struggle, Dominic
