Dear Phoebe,<\/p>\n
here’s the thing. when the godin thread came about, I asked one of the
\nsecond years to introduce me to you, assuming you were one of the
\nsecond years I had never met. Remember, it’s over 200 people roaming
\non the floor. Imagine my surprise when one of them said “phoebe? I
\nthought she was a 1st year.” after a couple of short google searches i
\nfound 2 things: that you graduated many years ago and that you post
\nvery often to the student list without ever explaining who you are.<\/p>\n
I dont’ think t’s unheard of for alumni to post to the student list.
\nIn fact a few do here and there and it’s assumed that a greater many
\nkinda read the list to see what the vibe is on the floor, or to find
\nsome good memes. But when they do post, they usually make it clear
\nthat they are alumni and what the reason is they’re posting. finally,
\nEvery time I remember seeing a post from an alumni it’s been by
\nsomeone who graduated the previous year.<\/p>\n
I thought being a student of Godin you would realize that might have
\nlost some credibility with us during that marathon thread. That any
\ngoodwill the “phoebe brand” on the list has been squandered by
\nobfuscation and a lack of sensitivity to the current dominant ITP
\nculture.<\/p>\n
I do appreciate the job offers you post. I really do. but don’t you
\nthink it’s more appropriate to send them to Midori like every other
\nalumni does? What makes you think you’re exempt from that process?
\nEspecially when it was pointed out last time that we can kick you off
\nthe list at any time through a bug in the system?<\/p>\n
(which no one did, because we’re Just That Classy ™).<\/p>\n
best,<\/p>\n
John<\/p>\n
The opinions expressed in this message and\/or any attachments are
\nthose of the author and not necessarily those of ITP, the student
\nlist, and my mom.<\/p>\n
