Hey there, SCREEN-Litarians!
 
We've made it to the NEW YORK TIMES.  Sorta.
 
SCREEN-L member Henry Jenkins is quoted in the 1 December 1992 edition
of THE TIMES, in an article on electronic bulletin boards:  "Computer
Networks Foster Cultural Chatting for Modem Times"  (note cute pun on
"modem"/"modern").
 
Says Henry, "It (a computer net) is a very elaborate writing community
creating its own texts.  All of these groups are forming around cultural
preferences and building an identity through their participation in an
electronic community."
 
Indeed we are!
 
----------
          If no one seems to understand
          Start your own revolution, cut out the middleman
          In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune
          But this is reality so give me some room
          So join the struggle while you may
          The Revolution is just a t-shirt away
          Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards
                                  --Billy Bragg
