The Mysterious Disappearance Of Phil Agre (NPR)

[Posted November 25, 2009 by corbet]

Here's an NPR article on Phil Agre, who has not been heard from in over a year. "Agre's online influence reaches far and wide - which makes it all the more surprising that he could have gone missing for such a long time without more people noticing. He was the publisher of the Red Rock Eaters News Service, an influential mailing list he started in the mid-1990s that ran for around a decade. A mix of news, Internet policy and politics, RRE served as a model for many of today's political blogs and online newsletters." LWN was certainly influenced by RRE, and your editor still misses it. (Thanks to Jay Ashworth).

And only 5 comments on the NPR page, and none here.

Wow; if I were Phil, I might have dropped off the grid, too. :-}
