I truly appreciate all the people who volunteered for this call. However the posibility of an unbiased study has been compromised by the continuing discussion on this list. IMHO, a collection of anecdotal observations could have merit as a thought piece in the general sense of an ethnography but it would not have the the properties which would suggest general processes. I.e. the subjects are also observers and informed by the discussion. This is not a negative to me because the discussion has interrogated the use of jargon in scholarly discourse. Again I thank you for the offer. As scholars I know you understand my logic. If you are a volunteer and read this please write me off list and let me know you read this. I want to make sure everyone get the word. Regards, James --------------------------------- Ready for the edge of your seat? Check out tonight's top picks on Yahoo! TV.
