An interesting article.   Joan Citizen Username: Joancrystal Post Number: 2339 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, January 9, 2004 - 4:58 pm:        Dave: This article seems to be addressing differing characteristics of message boards without placing a value judgment on whether a particular set of characteristics is good or bad for the virtual community as a whole. The number of posters, frequency of posts, and degree to which MOL discussions reflect and spread over into the bricks and mortar world suggests that MOL is doing a lot right. The main weakness remains the inability of some, often vocal, posters to react very strongly and not always politely to those who disagree with their points of view.   mem Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 2594 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, January 9, 2004 - 5:02 pm:        Joan, I DISAGREE!!!!
