No one was able to point to an article that did a meta-analysis showing
(or not) a predominantly urban focus in internet research.

So Jess Collins & I changed our sentence a bit.

We did get many pointers to folks doing urban-rural comparisons or rural
focused internet research. Which was not what we were asking about, but as
they were copied to these lists, may well have been useful to some -- as
well as to us.

I do wish people would relabel their subject lines if they are responding
to a somewhat different query.

Anyway, our paper is done, and goes up on my website/publications -
Connected Lives -- by Monday. Look for "Small Town in Internet Society:
Chapleau Is No Longer an Island"

Cheers,
 Barry Wellman
