Wisam,

Electronic communication to the masses, as in forums such as these, can more aptly be compared with books and periodicals rather than private correspondence.

One point that has been made repeatedly in the online communities over the years is that online anyone can be a publisher, but there is no editor in the sense that books and periodicals have editors and/or fact-checkers. This state of affairs has had a markedly tonic effect on some egos.

I'm curious, do you ever get over to Usenet? Do you subscribe to any Internet listservs?
