Actually, there is a list of rules for the 313 list available through www.hyperreal.org . There is no actual way of consistently voting on a issue through an email list of this size. I know many people including myself pick out specific chunks of information that seem relevant, This email list is not an independent society which posts anything it feels worth noting, more oft than not you will notice alot of these types of comments: 'sorry for the OT post but...' 'sorry for the lack of 313 content but..' This shows a definite regard for the fact that OT stuff is prohibited material on 313 and isn't welcome by everyone. It is not for us to decide what is cool, and what is not, for that has already been decided when you joined the list, and, hopefully read the rules. To make an extreme point, most of us (if not all) were born into societies in progress. Those societies had already placed rules upon our existence from the day we were born. We all grew up understanding or at least being aware of what we were allowed to do, and what was wrong (and punishable). This is where this list differs: while we may grow up to become someone who can change what is right and wrong, on this list you cannot become the moderator and change the rules. I don't know if the moderator is still lurking about, or if anyone will ever replace the current moderator. But it has been my understanding that we still follow the rules that were intially moderated. If you care to further discuss the e-society and its developement I would gladly discuss it. While I am not schooled in sociology I would gladly pay attention to such a conversation, as I have watched several lists evolve over many years.
