[IMC-US] debate on global site

[evan]

The posts on the site have links to the mailinglists where people can 
get involved in the discussion if they so desire. I figure, if somebody 
is serious, they'll follow the links and get involved. If they are just 
blowing off steam and ranting, perhaps using many different names and 
posting comments replying to themselves, then they aren't really 
participating in the work.

Remember indymedia network principle of unity number 7:
	All IMC's recognize that a prerequisite for participation
	in the decision making process of each local group is the
	contribution of an individual's labor to the group.

Anyway, for a bunch of links and a little of my commentary about this 
discussion i've post something on my blog, for those who are interested.
