The case of managing information on a mass-network exposes to certain issues.

Here follows the note that I address against rare incoming messages that call for the charge of spam.

It is based on an example
given after an undetected source
which threatens the web exchange akhnaton.net policy.
My response was sent as follows

To whoever sent this message (see below),

I would like to make notice that nor
ixmail7.ix.netcom.com
nor
wb9gvf@ix.netcom.com
are addresses that are present in my mail-list.
Thus I don't believe I have ever send them the message titled
<akhnaton.net update>
I thus want to make a comment.

The posts that I mail approx once/twice a month, are addressed to two categories of email addresses:
One is the people who visit
http://www.akhnaton.net
and request to receive an update, from the form which is located of the footpages of most of the pages of this site.

The other category is built on my own browsing of the web. When I find a page whose topic looks relevant to my own, I manually select their address and elect it for a contact with my own research, work and site. This looks like an ethical use of the web facilities. It is assumed that anyone indicating his/her address on the public www expect for connections with social and/or internet partners and colleagues.

Two situations may follow with this policy:
Either someone would display his email address on the web with the only wish to entice correspondant who would answer only they narcissitique need or greed.
Any other communication they would receive would be thus rejected, blamed and attacked without discussion. Or the other possibility could be a direct malevolence against my activity, as someone would register under an alias and then charge a complaint for spamming.

Especially in the case where the spam complainer cannot be identify from my list - suggesting that he/she used an alias address in the beginning, I wish to mention the noxious use of 'abuse' charge. The case of 'anti-spam' software is also known for mistakes and even sometimes targetting simple replies in a context of listserv usage. Under certain circumstances, 'anti-spam' machines and behavior, joins the kind of terrorist aspect that spam itself may by metaphorized with.

Hereby, since I claim using in a correct way the mailist tool that the internet allows, I fell offended by the charge and the 'GO AWAY' that the anonymous 'Jim" sent to idt and aol and wish that his policy should be criticized if not investigated from an ethical point of view.

In all due respect for every polite discussion and human internet developmenet and relationship

akhnaton.net update - MAIL LIST to 187 participants
Latest update :
../../dna/members/akh/8artic/schol.htm
This page presents my review of Moses_the_Egyptian by the Egyptologist Jan Assmann - a book which represents the contemporary Egyptological position about Trismegistus.

In 1990,Osman's book (Moses = Akhnaton) gave support to my 1985 psychoanalytical interpretation, following Velikovsky (Akhnaton = Oedipus; 1960)

Yet the triple identification Akhnaton=Moses=Oedipus is so shocking that it had to be strenghtened by findings within Western memory. The European legend of Hermes Trismegistus provided the necessary data. However, in 1997, we were still lacking an Egyptologist report regarding this Christian memory of an Egyptian Monotheist king.

Assmann's recent work (1997) supplies this information However the specificity with Assmann is that he delivers his report as a radical opposition to Trismegistus. I had to decipher lapses and astonishing scholarly omissions in order to reverse a meaning of resistance. This is the challenge of the new page. It is a piece of 'Freudian analysis' - a little bit long, yet I hope worth perusing for a lay reader - or perhaps to dig, if one has the opportunity.

The identification of Trismegistus with Akhnaton is reinforced in this analysis - and thus the understanding of the Western Civilization crisis.
