Subject: Re: "Who Told You How?": A Sociology of Email

Ah, I've evidently missed all such debates up to now, but my archives get
curtailed along with my last hard disk self-destruct in March last year.

On a somewhat tongue-in-cheek note, I can't help but hope that maybe my
effect on the field will be just the one you outline below. If I was to
'map' the cycle of activity, I suspect it would tend to reach the 'peak' of
its signal/noise ratio shortly _after_ a long period of silence. But I'm
certainly not the email list police.

And there is, yet, a decent study of email discussion still to be written.
Perhaps I should start a mailing list about it.

Best Wishes,
