[Air-l] Birth of virtual communities

[Radhika Gajjala]

You could find moderators of various lists (past 
and still existing) and get lots of narrative 
data about this sort of things.

and then you could find the participants of those lists -

narrow it down to a few lists of your interest 
though or you will be overwhelmed by the volume 
of what you get

;-)
