NBS, the newer definitions of asemic writing on the net generally give Jim Leftwich and Tim Gaze credit for coining the term "asemic" in the 1990s. Obviously people have been doing asemic writing much longer, but no one had explored, explained, defined the practice.

Jim is currently opposed to the use of the term asemic and is trying to replace it with "pansemic." But the cat is kind of out of the bag at this point. People get really bent out of shape on this subject. Pete Spence's attack on Kerri Pullo were inexcusable imho

We give Jim credit for inventing Trashpo in 2005.

He is some kind of genius.

The works posted in Photos by mail art veteran Jim Leftwich (decomposition + trashpo pieces) in Nov 2008 are really a wonder to behold, and asemically compelling. I'd never seen them before! Tonight they're on pages 6189-6190, but the numbers move, of course.

Argument is inevitable; life would be bland and unimaginable without its many forms, right? It tends to be better if the instigator doesn't pretend to be disingenuous or pretend to be uninterested in starting an argument, but who knows.

For me, it's time to feed the birds in the yard.

Welcome Mark Rossmiller!

Mark and Moan Lisa hold the record for leaving, returning and sometimes being kicked out of the group.

No one is even remotely close in second place except possibly Cheryl Penn who started the group, got kicked out then left IOU-MA altogether but somehow remains a non-particpating group member.

As you can see we are all close friends with deep respect for each other.

New project looks good, Mark/

David Chirot's images look fine to me.

I understand Instagram and Facebook are having some problems with images. It could cross over to other platforms.

David-Baptiste Chirot -- it appears you have added photos below, so I'm not sure why you are asking how to do it. Just start a comment, like you have before, click on the "Image" icon in the upper left of the comment box, and download the photo from your computer. Hope this helps.
