Sorry for being late, but I have an aversion to things like topica.com.
and was wavering whether I want to participate at all.

Why couldn't we use something like minordomo?
At least I know that Sebastian (http://minordomo.org) won't sell my
email, zipcode and age or use the >aggregated data for demographic
and marketing research.

The tools we use are important and they say a lot about who we are.
And I don't like that footer below...

I'm quite excited by this conference as it focuses on issues central
to my own. I'd like to echo >Wolfgang's comment about topica.com

going back to Wolfgang Staehle and Tom Leonhardt's comments a while
back on the use of topica and how the tools we use are important, I
think this was underlined yesterday by Warren Sack's post and his
link to some of his research work, his "conversation map software
(see www.sims.berkeley.edu/~sack/cm)".

obviously this is going to be a space to think towards forms and
tools such as this but surely for the moment we could go with a more
open-ended, accessible one such as the suggested minordomo?
