Hola Toya,

Thank you for your kind words. And I am glad to recognise that your 
voice has been consistent over the years in support of collectivism 
within indymedia, in a climate among us where indymedia's global bodies 
are progressively more and more dominated by subborn and arrogant 
individualism and almost total lack of politics and accountability.

All of indymedia's grace now exists within local collectives and I wish 
there were ways we might bring more of that collectivist spirit into our 
global bodies. But of course it can not be done if there are people 
among us resisting that - co-operation and collectivism can not be 
enforced, only freely chosen.

Thanks again, I will relay your letter to various of our groups and 
contacts,
Petros
