I don't know what a "pure anarchist" position is.

Since the LAF is basically a talking shop it seems there is a natural 
tendency for it to tend towards philosophical issues so perhaps it 
doesn't matter what we are pragmatically:-)

My anarchism basically manifests in pragmatic terms as a preferred way 
of working and organising, ie not asking authorities for permission to 
do things, making decisions by consensus etc. Things like Critical Mass, 
the G8 Bike Ride to Gleneagles that I was involved in, the Camp for 
Climate Action etc.

You have been doing more than your share for a long time anyway and it 
would be good if the load could be more evenly spread. I already manage 
this list and Steve set up a Facebook group (Steve made me an admin too, 
though I haven't actually done anything on it yet).

I would offer to do more but I don't live in London. It seems like the 
curry nights have become an important part of keeping the group together 
but because of the ridiculous cost of train travel I very rarely manage 
to get to them.
