encourage people to work... etc

I don't know if my English is so bad or is because of my explanation or 
because of our singularity but we believe everybody can work with us and 
we don't see any strange links between madrid.indymedia.org and 
acp.sindominio.net We both are the same, we work with local collectives 
in Madrid but we work with people from other places in the net, any 
problem? I can't see them.

We know this isn't about the name, we don't feel cooler or better being 
a new IMC. We do think we have to build a global network and I think we 
summit all the values and principles of Indymedia

I've done it before: miquel at sindominio.net (tech) and me, all this 
public information:
https://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc/2002-February/002745.html

I've just send an email to indyacp at sindominio.net in order to tell 
people from acp to subscribe to these lists. I guess we will join this 
lists too.

I really don't know where's the problem to be an IMC, all my (our) 
doubts are solved and we summit principles of Indymedia, don't you think so?
