Certainly ethics in the context of Internet studies is a broad far reaching topic. But for one math teacher of mine when I brought up ethical studies and ethical uses of statistics she started to talk about a professor who was a racist in public and not apologizing. Maybe for those of us techi's this narrow ethics topic is our first impression use of the term ethics in university? Certainly a hot topic for some but probably not valid here except in studying something like Internet hate and I am reading Castells on US Militias at the moment. peace love and eternal grooviness Peter Timusk, B.Math statistics (2002), B.A. legal studies (2006) Carleton University Systems Science Graduate student, University of Ottawa. just trying to stay linear.
