I don't know what I mean, Craig. That seemed to be the gist of what 
UC-list "was", on some level, when I first raised the question a month 
or so ago. Your added details are informative and appreciated.


My main purpose in bringing this up is to dig into the true meaning of 
the word "public". It is a word that is frequently used on UC-list, and 
usually with a political loading; the user of the word "public" is 
trying to sneak in some conclusion that is not actually supported by the 
facts.


Like most important words, "public" has a wide variety of usages and senses.

In no sense is UC-list "public" in that everybody in society "owns" it 
or "has a right to" it, or any of the goods and services it is composed 
of, without which it would cease to exist.


It is "public" in that all sorts of people can enter it and interact in 
front of other people, over whom they have no direct control. The same 
is true of Locust Walk or Dahlak or St. Francis de Sales Churches: all 
are public spaces.


UC-list is not more "public" than UCNeighbors; it is merely less moderated.

DeSales and Dahlak are public spaces?? The owners of Dahlak can  
refuse admission to practically anyone, I think, as long as they are  
not "discriminating." DeSales is probably given even more leeway. I'm  
not sure about Locust Walk. Is it a city street or is it privately- 
owned?


I've posted before about the difference between an obnoxious drunk in  
a bar and an obnoxious member of an e-mail list. I think it's obvious  
but, since you brought it up again, you don't seem to get it, so I'll  
say it again. Individuals on an unmoderated list can decide for  
themselves to filter out whomever they like with a couple of mouse  
clicks. The decision isn't made for them by someone else.

Get it about the filtering, etc., Frank. Still, many posters report they 
don't use listserves that way. They want to be able to scan a field of 
social incoming without constantly having to filter out objectionable 
public behavior. For them, internet public spaces that are responsive to 
consensual manners may be preferable to public spaces that resist them.


Of course Dahlak is a "public house" by ancient English usage, Frank. 
Maybe not for you -- but clearly it is for many other members of the 
public. In fact, I'll bet you a trillion electrons there are thousands 
of residents of University City who consider hanging out at places like 
Dahlak "public" behavior and consider whanging away at places like 
UC-list "private" behavior.

Gosh, this has been super interesting. Maybe we could make a listserv for 
people to discuss the listserv itself. It would be a great place to debate 
the merits of the listserv, discuss listserv philosophy, explore the 
fascinating nuances of e-manners, and gossip about other listservs. If my

I know you're trying to be wry and amusing here or whatever, 
and I appreciate that, but, if we think about it, isn't 
'discussing' what's published -- whether in print or online 
-- pretty much what's always been done? normally? publicly?


just because we may happen to be the ones actually creating 
the content, having the conversation, doesn't mean we can't 
also discuss creating content or talk about having 
conversations. also, quoting another listserv or talking 
about what's posted on another website isn't gossip or bad 
manners, any more than quoting a newspaper or a teevee show, 
nor does it take any special philosophy or etiquette.


for example, when glenn writes about kyle's list, about list 
gangs and penn-branded lists, and how kyle 'pre-banned' 
glenn from taking part in kyle's list, I can point out (with 
urls) how melani lamond and ross bender were posting to 
kyle's list before kyle ever announced it here on uclist on 
july 28. so in addition to 'pre-banning' there was 
'pre-enlisting'. here's how that went [and anyone is free to 
publicly comment on it]:
