[Reader-list] Re: tml-list at sarai.net invite

[Shekhar Krishnan]

Dear Reader List and TML List:

Though I was asked to moderate this list during the Tactical Media 
Lab, I request that my name be removed from this invitation message 
as it was written entirely without my knowledge or participation, and 
is bad form on the part of whoever decided to sign my name without 
asking me (unless there is another Shekhar who is also moderating the 
list whom I don't know!).

Best


Shekhar
