<p>Thank you so much, Brian S. Gentry, for providing so much crucial information concerning this issue of SMILE. We now have documentation for the historical record that is solid.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You are very kind, Brian, given that, yes, I did speculate Stewart Home wrote the article (or plagiarized it from some academic source). That has stood uncorrected for too long. All I can plead is that network history is difficult and mazelike. Add Neoism to the mix, and the possibility of error…</p>

<p>You are very kind, Brian, given that, yes, I did speculate Stewart Home wrote the article (or plagiarized it from some academic source). That has stood uncorrected for too long. All I can plead is that network history is difficult and mazelike. Add Neoism to the mix, and the possibility of error increases further. I did indeed rant not too long ago about how I felt the Neoists had purposefully sabotaged their work so we time travelers would have no hope of reconstructing the past with any accuracy. tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE chided me on that, stating he did not believe that had been part of the Neoist program. But things get vague and murky whenever I approach Neoism. (I understand you might not have approached it as a Neoist purist, but I associate SMILE with the Neoist effort.)</p>
<p>I missed one important clue. Stewart Home is and was a very outspoken critic of Situationism. I should have guessed other forces influenced this issue of SMILE. We both know people with very different ideological and cultural orientations worked side by side on these network things, and there was a lot of radicalism. The essay is intriguing but not surprising to me, although - again - not Stewart Homes at the end of the day, now that I step back.</p>
<p>So thanks again for saving the day on this one, Brian.</p> This is actually my SMILE, no…tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2015-12-03:2496677:Comment:18807072015-12-03T22:08:44.784ZBrian S Gentryhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/BrianSGentry
<p>This is actually my SMILE, not Stewart Home's. Cramer Florian posted this on Facebook and both he and Stewart confirmed this. I did this in Raleigh, NC in 1988. I produced at least one other SMILE at that time. I also attended the London Festival of Plagiarism that year. I later had some dealings with the Schiz-Flux folks in Madison and did a Karen Eliot-related performance at the Festival of the Swamps around that time. It is interesting to see this turn up here again after all of these…</p>

I later had some dealings with the Schiz-Flux folks in Madison and did a Karen Eliot-related performance at the Festival of the Swamps around that time. It is interesting to see this turn up here again after all of these years. I can look through my stuff and get it scanned. Not all of it is Neoist-related, but I was heavily into SItuationism. I also wrote an essay on Anarchism and Mysticism entitled Autonomystics. I like that my pseudo-academic style was noted, and the review was very flattering. I am glad some folks out there still appreciate it after all of these years.</p> Brilliant.tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2014-02-06:2496677:Comment:14744732014-02-06T17:10:10.120ZNancy Bell Scotthttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/NancyBellScott
