Doyle; I wouldn't call this total bs, but simply the limits of what distribution lists can do in email. If Michael didn't regulate arguments and bursts of anger then people would or tend to get polarized in this format. Other forms like wikis tend to regulate these adventures in human emotion structure too so that people can collaborate. This list is not really a collaboration but an exploration of some aspects of what has caught economics oriented folks attention in our current historic phase. The conversations tend to superficial because the format is not geared to depth processes of collaboration and work goals. We are still at the beginning I fear in creating interactive tools of knowledge creation that really would free us from the limits of what we have to use now. Michael does a good job in a hard situation. Please cut him some slack. Thanks, Doyle Saylor
