I like a puzzle. All day I have been trying to figure out the Plan. It finally hit me. Reid Cornwell is indeed one of the cleverist people I have come in contact with. He spams a list of people in which he is held in low regard. For the purpose of inviting them to a conference. (how dare he) And/or present their intellectual work This of course is a nefarious plan to give them $200 and have 4 meals with them. Even more insidiously, he is going to put them in the presence of world-class scholars, educators and policy makers. He also exposes them to a three term Governor and former presidential candidate. While exposing them to state-of-the-art technology All of this in a lovely historical town with a major university (the cad) He offers to publish their works and to broadcast their presentations. Now here is the really twisted part. He does all of this so he can be called names and subjected to ad hominem attacks, to what end. He's going to steal 2 days of their time. You know what else, he forms a non-profit and gives away scads of money to education and then has the audacity to form a virtual Internet research organization. I agree with Jeremy you should watch out for a guy like this. He must be stopped. Oh I forgot. He is going to steal the email address, he already had, for some other sinister purpose, while requesting that you unsub. How about that for clever?

As air-l list manager, although not really list content decision-maker, and mostly lurker (I am a proud lurker on a few lists, including a huge one that I founded almost 15 years ago and and on this one), I'd just like to say that I think it would be super-nifty if we could cease and desist, at least for a while, from all discussion of/comments about particular individuals and their flaws and strengths. I am very interested in the discussion of online research interviews, in the general discussion of the etymology and usage of terms like "lurker" and "troll," in the trends in landline vs. mobile telephone usage, and in other substantive discussions. With that in mind, I found very interesting an article in today's Washington Post about the growth of texting in noisy environments, like clubs, to communicate with those with whom one is physically co-present: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/16/AR2007051600 649.html I found myself thinking a bit about the use of texting in situations where it would be totally fine to chat aloud with the co-present friend (as opposed to in class or a meeting) but there may be environmental barriers. And it made me curious about the research being done -- and just the observations being made more generally -- on this phenomenon.

Hi, We have a little (not very generalizable) data about this. Based on a convenience sample (read: the students in different classes) Naomi Baron and I found that there is almost no calling within the same location (less than 1%. The respondents reported about 10% of their calls were within the same building and about 2% outside but within eyesight. About 40% of the calls were to people who were not immediately nearby but within 5 miles. A little over 10% were to people who were 5 to 30 miles away and the remaining 33% were further away. Thus, while there is a little bit of local calling, it is those people who are a little further away who are the most common interlocutors.
