Re: [-empyre-] Size matters?

[Alan Sondheim <sondheim@panix.com>]

There's a fair amount on lists - Jon Marshall <jmarshal@ol.com.au>
wrote his Phd thesis on Cybermind - it's around 600 pp of analysis - and 
Lexie (Alexanne) Don has written a system-functional analysis of elist 
behavior. A few years ago there were also a number of articles in books 
such as Internet Culture, Cultures of Internet, etc. I've written in my 
endless ramblings on list governance and its relation to specific 
software, etc. There has been a fair amount on list censorship, disrup- 
tion, etc. as well. Years ago, Alt.tactical.strategy, which acted on news 
groups, effected a group called the Deviants which broke into lists; there 
was writing about that as well. I also think you'd find a lot of 
sociological writing on lists - I remember reading it. - Alan
