[Air-l] evidence, not assertion, re female bloggers

[Barry Wellman]

I have just read a digest of assertion and counter-assertion re the
prevalence of women bloggers.

Not one person offered any statistics.
Although Nancy gave a rough estimate.

Surely, this is one place where qual and quant can agree. Researchers
gotta get their categories right, but then should keep their canons dry
and at least do some sampling, counting and percentaging.

Remember what "R" stands for in AoIR?
