An important strand of substantive conversations throughout this list's history has concerned terminology (academic and popular) to describe Internet services. -eg

Dear Ellis,
Could you please explain to me your purpose in the "List Serve"/"listserv" bit?
I've unsubscribed from the AOIR listserv in part because of this exchange. The other reason is that in two weeks I've see a bunch of cross-posting, a good number of questions posted that no one has bothered to even acknowledge and a discussion of privacy and property that I could have had with my IP lawyer. I have yet to see one substantive conversation about the Internet... a subject which I would have thought would be near and dear to a group calling itself the Association of Internet Researchers. The archives are only moderately better. *sigh*
Whatever.
Be well, Jonathan Cornwell

I've seen newbies use "listserv", an appropriation of LSoft's product name akin to informal use of Band-Aid, Levi's, Coke, Kleenex, and Clorox.
But I've never seen "the List Serve" (two words, capitalized, with an added "e") and am surprised to be introduced to it by an AoIR member and director of a Center for Internet Research. Is that common in Colorado, or in business circles, or among commercial Centers? Or am *I* the newbie?
Curious indeed.

This is quite rude. You must have had a bad day.
I was simply offering some support to a young researcher on his first visit to the List Serve. You've given him an introduction as well.
If you really think this was a "juicy" story you should get a life.
I noticed that you didn't sign your email. Curious
