Hi, again, Marisa,
I've been following the RSS feed for Raw, occasionally I post something I find there. (eg, Baudrillard Tribute in Second Life).
I prefer the ease and fluidity of blog comments for discussions (as opposed to emails, which I have a hard time keeping track of--I guard my inbox pretty carefully).
After the disastrous experience Abe, Chris Ashley, jimpunk and I had with the Empyre listserv I've been leery of that vehicle.
Everybody was at cross purposes, with threads going this way and that as people sent out emails.
Here on the blog I've opted for "flat comments," so one has to follow another and to some extent you're compelled to be nice and respond to what was said before you instead of picking up ten comments back or starting flame wars I can't keep track of.
I'm very bullish on this way of talking about things so my conversations tend to be mostly on people's blogs as opposed to other forums.
I think it's important to have an institutional referee, validator, and content generator (with proper checks and balances), which is why I pay close attention to Rhizome and Eyebeam whether or not I participate directly.
You're doing a great job or I wouldn't have dragged y'all into this.
