Hi all! Thanks for the very helpful replies I got to my original posting(s). BTW: Sorry again for the multiple postings. Turned out that our server got bambarded with spam the last couple of days. Instead of 200 000 - 300 000 mails per day it had to process over 800 000 emails (!!!) which slowed it down quite a bit and gave users the impression that email were lost in the virtual nowhere. Anyway, the replies I got raised another question for me, namely: What is the difference between ethnography and ethnomethodology? Of course I will go and check in the recommended readings myself but I thought that maybe this is an interessting issue for the list as well. Cheers.
