Dear Marcela,

I'm not sure about this but if you break it down into bits it might mean...

 

I =I

MET = discovered or talked to

ANETWORKER = someone who uses the Internet (like we are doing now)

IN  = in

SPIRIT = someone who you met on the Internet, rather than physically

 

So it seems to mean that  "you met someone on the Internet".

Like you did me.

I hope this helps.

Other people may have different interpretaions of it.

Regards, Val

Hi IUOMA people!!!

I need an explanation...please... My English is not good enough to understand what:

"I METANETWORKER IN SPIRIT" means... Anyone can help me?

Thank you, Ruud. Great job you are doing! Now I will be extra careful with new members.
Comment by Ruud Janssen on November 6, 2011 at 7:57am

First thing I did was remove the spammer this morning. Thanks for watching out and warning people Katerina!

The spammers get more clever each day to enter the platform......

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on November 5, 2011 at 11:42pm

It is after midnight in Europe and I fear that Ruud is already off line.

How do we stop a spammer?????

We have a major SPAMMER: Paulline ATTA.

DO NOT GO TO EMAIL ADDRESS, DO NOT REPLY to her!

didn't get such an e-mail
Comment by Ruud Janssen on October 3, 2011 at 6:32am

Typical in mail-Art: there are unwritten rules, and when people start to write them down, we all see things differently. I also see a list of DO and DON'TS in the making. The fun in mail-at is sometimes  also to break a few rules. Experimenting in communication is also discover new ways and visions.

When art becomes a routine matter is actually is craft.

Comment by Mim Golub Scalin on October 1, 2011 at 2:46pm
I found it interesting that people would join a group that sends art through the postal services and not give there land mail address. If an e-mail address is given, I write for the address & usually hear back from the person. Surprises in the mail are what is so wonderful about IUOMA.
Comment by Ruud Janssen on October 1, 2011 at 8:06am

@Helen : The homeaddress is normally just posted, otherwise you can't reach someone. If they don't want an address to be published, I don't do so, but it means they don't get a surprise mail-art in their mail-box either.

No fixed rules there either.
