Michael, you perfectly expressed the dilemma of increasing complexity and overabundance in current day digital communications. As a result, there must always be, in my opinion, a strategy that meets the needs of the times. The 1990s was a special time for lists because they were new, and we weren¹t inundated with email, social media, text messaging, etc., as we are today. Nowadays, it is a heroic feat to keep up with one¹s communications and I am always surprised how the mailing lists continue to survive because who has time for all this anymore? In terms of our ongoing critique of net behaviors, certainly we have to take into account the sheer information overload we experience each and every day as we attempt to feed each other every single minute detail of our everyday lives, and in the case of the lists, our artwork and research as well. That is why a list-driven DIWO call is a heavy proposition when we are literally drowning in information. We are hanging on for dear life to keep up so is it no wonder that responses may go from sparse to non-existent. I also find that people don¹t even read their email anymore, they scan it and toss it and reply as tersely as possible. So my conclusion here is that perhaps we need to propose new and evolving DIWO strategies if we really want to ³do it with others² via email lists in the age of overload.
