***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** Maybe. But stupid or not, I prefer to focus on the intent of the poster, which is well-intentioned. When in doubt, a little bit of netiquette is not a bad thing. On the other hand, I agree with Barry's defence of posting information about academically-related products such as books or software. One person's spam is another person's valued information. Just because you have to pay for something doesn't make the information crass commercialism. ........Alex Kuskis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Valdis" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2005 1:11 PM Subject: Re: "apologies for cross-posting" > ***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** > > Yes, I have always thought that is the stupidest remark... probably > left over from the verrrry early days of the net when you could only > transmit so many bits in a day... > > > On Oct 23, 2005, at 12:13 PM, Barry Wellman wrote: > >> "apologies for cross-posting" is one of the most frequent messages >> I see >> online when someone posts a notice of a conference or a book. _____________________________________________________________________ SOCNET is a service of INSNA, the professional association for social network researchers (http://www.insna.org).
