Good grief, at least we're Sentient! Although that my be doubtful;
we can't forget the Cloud (remember the Cloud where magic happened online
until the deserts took over and we're living literally under (about twenty
meters or so) our enormous burning Sun) -
I refuse to use more parenthensies (or spell-Czech for that matter) -
everything's at a premium!
Not much fuel left here!
Best, Alan, sick of exclamations!

Subject: [NetBehaviour] IETF RFC 1437 Extension of MIME Content-Types:
Sentient Life-Form Transport
Dear NetBehaviourists,
The Internet Engineering Task Force Request for Comments 1437
outlines an Extension of MIME Content-Types to include the:
matter-transport/sentient life-form transport
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1437
to support life-bearing email (for example). Careful
implementation of this protocol and its attendant engineering
standards would enable us to visit other NetBehaviour subscribers
without having to pay airfare. For those of us living in the
Untied States of America, the possibility of emailing ourselves
into democracies (talkin' about you, Canada and Mexico) could
prove a welcome alternative to actually implementing one
ourselves.
Thanks to AI's capacity for predicting the content of internet
packets before they arrive (just the latest development in our mad
rush to the future), we could even find ourselves transported into
a democracy before we so much as conceive of the possibility, if
our friends will only harness the power of AI and provide us with
lots of server space.
I will nominate Alan Sondheim as the first test subject, i.e.,
Internet Transport Pioneer, to attempt Transport to a Democracy.
If he arrives unscrambled and right side up, I will follow. UK
subscribers, check your Spam folders, just in case AI has already
sent us your way.
Tell me you are working on this, please.
all best,
Paul
