OK, I'll tone down the dripping sarcasm. My apologies. Please try to understand where I'm coming from. As a Black American who has been online longer than most of the people doing scholarly cyberspace research today (when I was growing up, my research heroes were folks like Murray Turoff, Star Roxanne-Hiltz, Tracey Laquey-Parker, John S. Quarterman, and Laurence Landweber), I have a somewhat weird relationship to the study of cyberculture. The so-called Digital Divide has never applied to me and my numerous Black colleagues, and therefore I can tend to be somewhat hostile when confronted with the paternalistic framing which undergirds so much academic research and commercial propaganda regarding technoculture. You're studying it, but I've been living it for 25 years. OK, back to your regularly scheduled programming. :-) Art
