There have been a number of ethnographies of the net, especially relating
to gender relationships. Women it seems are a
minority on the net, and perhaps they have stayed away because
they
have been flamed when they discuss things that are important to them and
to society, as a whole. Why don't you do an ethnography of the Anthro-L,
most of the males here are not flamers, although I don't think many are
interested in discussing gender relationships. Ruby Rohrlich
