Everyone who was interested in the idea of 'the Net writing a book', theres no reason why that cant still happen... anyhow, someone suggested that it would be useful to 'roleplay' the AO scenarios, or get everyone who was interested together to discuss the possibilities... This weekend i may - MAY - manage to arrange a 24hr peroipd on IRC and email, during which something could happen, but there are a lot of ptoentially confounding factors... so stay tuned for further details... ______________________________ Date: 18 Feb 1993 20:00:01 -0600 (CST) From: "free agent .rez" Subject: Re: the medium is the message John Frost, not Bob, says: | |Did I feel W.
