Volume would definitely increase. On the other hand, I wonderhow many
of ous would be willing to sub to a student list with the purpose of
"mentoring"? I would, of course. But the point is to expose the
students of si to as many voices and
perspectives as possible.

I would be glad to do this, if this is what we decide.
Most of you who have talked with me know my
position regarding both the importance of
teaching to interactionism and the use of technology
, so moderating the list would be great.
How many of us would ask our students to subscribe?
I'd have at least 20 and at most 100.
