<HTML>hey folks,

I`d runned boards about mailart since two years ago.

Yes we?ve got over one millions hits there and more than
hundredthousand postings.

; Merlin is a wizzard and poor at once but.

I am not a native german only, my roots are in
4th century once banned into an oak.

Between - some fairy kissed me out of the oak now!

Using my new wisdom to spread the so called round table
I once foundet at King Arthur?s court in 4th century once--

to give all this wisdom to all free artists around the globe!

Even I am old I am still a child! also I am a Warrior, proved
by fights through all this centuries......
#

So I am glad to be alive, with my childrens mind and soul,
the force of a wizzard and! the wisdom of one lover of art,
mail, freex-change and one of YOU.

PS:

please do not report this sites, links to official places like
tv and or.....

your

Merlin</HTML>

<HTML>Craigster,

Try looking in your heart.

Proper message board netiquette is a learned and sharing process.

If your actions block, hide, or prevent community communications, then I would call that wrong.

If they promote, help, and foster creation and ideas, then I would call that good. Of course - that is just my humble opinion.

Other than that - I believe there are <font
color="#FFFF33" size="5">N</font><font
color="#FF9900" size="5">O</font>&nbsp<font
color="#FF0000" size="5">R</font><font
color="#990099" size="5">U</font><font
color="#0033FF" size="5">L</font> <font
color="#339999" size="5">E</font> <font
color="#339900" size="5">Z</font> here.

I think you will find that there are some interesting and generous people here (except me, of course) and your experience could be a fantastic one.

I have enjoyed communicating and observing your prolific graphics on <a href="[groups.yahoo.com] i-mailart board </a> for some time now. This is just another community, like yours, and there is a place for you here.

Always remember though . . . things are never as they appear.
Magick does occur and spirit helpers are numerous inside this board.

Good Wishes and Salutations to you, my friend.

As my grandma Grant (god rest her soul) used to say, "You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar!"

<HTML>Seems it only likes some colors (in Hexadecimal).

What I meant to say was . . .
<b>
<font color="#0000FF">N</font> <font color="#CC00FF">O</font>&nbsp;
<font color="#FF0000">R</font> <font color="#FF8040">U</font> <font
color="#00FF00">L</font> <font color="#0000FF">E</font> <font
color="#CC00FF">Z</font>
</b></HTML>

<HTML>Dear Zenpainter, for me different codes of color are working,

<strong><b><font color="purple"> - I used the code font color="purple" </font>

But you know, maybe it is not a Script and/or Serverproblem it also
can be a Browserproblem - a lot of tags used in Netscape Ie don?t show and ---- ..... w3c is changing the standard (both don?t really show) every year again!!!!

So please report what tags are working for you wich not!!!!!

It will make this board more colerful!!!

This time html is allowed without any restrictions -
even somone could kick this board into nirwana for sometme
if he want?s to destroy it - but like you told,

Rulez will grow by postings.....
common rules! not mine!

<HTML>Please post images as .jpgs @ 72dpi resolution at medium grade quality in order to keep file size lower. Try and keep format size should be 500 pixels x 500 pixels or (6.944" x 6.944") or (17.639cm x 17.639cm) as the individual works will be sewn together eventually to create a quicktime movie of the dialogue to be shown on large curved jumbotron screens located in the main piazzas of the major cities of the world. Be assured you each will receive your obligatory 15 seconds of fame.

The purpose of this group is to create networked imagery that shares authorship. Any image is ok- (just because you post it does not mean you promote it, i.e. posting a picture of Hitler does not mean you are a Nazi) and feel free to copy and modify all images. Please copyright all work posted.

OK Craig, this are rules for your emailgroup,

In this Board for instance it could become difficult if Nazy-Symbols become posted. Even Art is free in Germoney, it is forbidden to use
such kind of Symbols. I think in Art against Fascism it is ok ang legally
posted but be careful please, I want not to go to jail for it!.

Re: rules &amp; regulations / I used Nazi-Symbols too

<HTML>Since a lot of years, long before new fascism arised in Germoney again, I made artworks against..... this fluxusmoney is a very! old
artwok of mine - I still signed it with RU not with Merlin even I sent
150 to Ryosuke Cohen later , I think I created at 1990 I think.

I am using a vorbidden Symbol too on this money, but against fascism
it is ok I think!

Maybe this will show you that I am not a critician about your Art, only
begging you to become careful here - no restrictions are given yet here,
but if something goes wrong I will try to tell about and to help , keeping this free forum alive.

This is now really my own! forum too, even I am not master of the posters here, I am still a servant, doing this job withot making money for the free mailartcommunity.

I want you to respect the very strong force I am giving to you too while running this board.

You are welcome your discussions are important, your pictures are
maybe provoking - but - art is a language and pictures can become
discussions and also change minds and save souls.

This can become one crosspoint of new friendships I think.

Your

Merlin

Post Scriptum
ps.

<img src="[www.talknet.de];

Also erotic art - even sometimes provokating (provoking? - my English
is not very good) should be allowed here...

One of Merlin`s handcarved rubberstamps I made - the theme had
been:

"Mailart is a big back and force without bombs" - Just don?t remember
who told it HR-Fricker? Ruggero Maggi??

I answerded with a handcarved rubber, maybe thousand prints had
been sent out.....

so - I think you understand no censorship rules here today!</HTML>
