I attended the conference of the Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology and the
Life Sciences this past summer and one member presented a software for analysing
information. He did some analysis of on-line text for me and it was useful re
thematic counting and could possibly do participation as well if the analytical
text was set up for that. It does numbers and diagramatics and probably could
track chaotic formulas. It is called "Crawdad" and is accessible for academic
use. The man's name is Kevin Dooley and he is based at Arizona State University

This isn't my area really so hopefully this is of use, and I know of a few more
interactive interfaces that visualize interactions that is of nearer my interests.

Thank you all for your valuable help.=20
Nescan seems to be a tool applicable to newsgroups and not web-based =
discussion forums.=20
I have contacted a PERL programmer and I am waiting for a reply. If this =
doesn't work I will have to carry it through manually. I am thinking =
that I could use a sample of the messages, for example the two most =
popular conferences, and analyse their messages instead of attempting =
the impossible task of analyzing the total of the interactions in the =
group.=20
Thank you once more,=20
