It's amazing I never saw the term "pansemic" before. Google just now listed tons of links to follow, so this week's reading is laid out for me. I too think Leftwich is brilliant and remember his being credited by you and DK for inventing trashpo. Thanks for all the info, DVS.

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.

So, the shunner was shunned?  . . . and the wheel goes 'round and 'round . . .

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/
