I'm looking for research on people who respond to opinions or ideas they read in listservs or on Internet sites. If I remember correctly, people who write in response to an idea they read on a listserv tend to disagree with the published statement. Is that so? Who has conducted research on this phenomenon? I am studying email responses to an essay that appeared in a political opinion web site. Thanks for any help you can provide.
