Re: [Ag Meinungsfindungstool] Helping the Pirate Party to vanish

Hi Mike,

Great. Do you have TeamViewer installed by any chance?
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/

It's free for private use and available for Windows, Linux and Mac. With 
this we would have the chance of ad hoc desktop sharing, if needed.

Btw. isn't it true what Alex said, that you are not interested in 
eliminating the network effect in general, but "only" against establishing a 
monopoly?!

At least, I think, this is true for AG MFT (incl. me). I always interpreted 
your arguments in the junction of "network effect" AND "monopoly". This is 
what you are talking about, right?

Unfortunately I don't have time now to go through your email and Alex's 
reply to put my 2ct there.

More on Friday.

Cheers
marc

Hi Mark,

Friday 1300 UTC - that's perfect.  (I'm at UTC-4.)  Talk to you then!

BTW, I'll refer to this document in our discussion:
http://zelea.com/w/User:Mike-ZeleaCom/Vote_mirroring_as_a_counter-monopoly_measure
http://zelea.com/w/User_talk:Mike-ZeleaCom/Vote_mirroring_as_a_counter-monopoly_measure
This is the only method I know of (so far) that can eliminate the
network effect.  Note that the votes here are not decisive.  A vote
means "I agree" with a primary position (eDialogos consensus:Position)
that is under discussion; or equivalently "I belong" to the group who
agrees with the position.  We think the network effect that underpins
the party system and supports the dominant SPD and CDU/CSU coalitions
(while holding back the Pirates and other small parties) works
entirely through these primary votes (= agreement, = association).
The dominant parties cannot be beaten except by eliminating that
network effect.
