The discussion of nettime would have benefited from talking with the people who've been running it for the last 17 years, i.e., Felix Stalder and myself, along with several others early on. Geert and Pit haven't been actively involved in nettime since then — and it would almost certainly have fallen apart (or exploded), culturally and technically, if they'd continued. We can't know that, of course; and its durability has come at a cost — for example, it became less of a 'platform' for projects they envisoned. They deserve full credit for the their ideas and efforts early on — Geert, in particular, has been an immensely positive force connecting people around the world. Even so, there's no small irony in citing people who've spent close to twenty years accepting credit for others' work as authorities on what that work involved.
