<DIV><FONT size=2>How lovely, in a pomo-cyber-medieval sort of way, to
hear such curses 'spoken out' via a list! All the more because one could
also think that editors who don't factor in attrition and publishers who
calculate the costs of volumes in this way are also victims of curses. Of
course, we all understand that Toronto is in the grip of virus hysteria.

>>><BR>Just to clarify Monica Murero's Encyclopedia posting:<BR><BR>It
is the Encyclopedia of Communty, to be published by Sage this June.
It<BR>contains 49 articles about the internet (et al) and community, including
a<BR>very nice one in which Monica is the lead author. I edited all of
them<BR><BR>(And a pox on the 2 readers of this list who defaulted on their
articles<BR>at the very end, putting tremendous stress on me and the 2
wonderful<BR>people who jumped in as replacement authors -- they're also readers
of<BR>this list.)<BR><BR>Howevever, the 49 articles are only 1/8 of the entire
Encyclopedia. It's<BR>in 4 volumes. It also has 650 leads to popular books,
movies, etc on<BR>community -- Many thanks to the list readers who responded
with<BR>suggestions. We used most of them.<BR><BR>The bad news is that the book
is expensive. 500+ USD -- which means that<BR>effectively only libraries and
Microsoft employees can afford it!<BR><BR>I have been trying to get Sage to
publish a revised version of our 49<BR>internet/community articles as a separate
book, but they haven't agreed<BR>now. Perhaps after they do their library sales,
we will have better luck.<BR>Of course, we are a fast moving field, and I'd face
the task of editing 49<BR>articles again, but 45/49 were a joy to work with --
thanks to all of
you.<BR><BR><BR>Barry<BR>___________________________________________________________________<BR><BR>
