Saw you had posted in the infamous N3 thread - alas I was well asleep when you did so no chance I could have replied.
"No, No, No" did indeed start out as a thread of protest - the site had been closed down while it was being bought out by the BBC from The Digital Village.com under whose ownership the site was constructed. I was an Assitant Community Editor at the time so had been invited back early onto a secure server to tweak all the bugs. The camapign to rename thursday thing had begun in the yahoo group forums for displaced researchers, so I took the opportunity to start creating the long-promised manifesto. I'd barely begun when, because it was a newly created page and everyone was watching what everyone else was doing like hawks, a researcher called Inkwash turned up and started protesting - hence: "no no no - you cant be serious etc."
and it sort of snowballed from there.
