You said it with such authority, Mark, it seemed like you had read statistical research on e-list usage. Which I would have been interested in.
I'm not sure I could make such a sweeping generalisation based on an experience with one women's e-list. But you may be right. I have a very different experience of Facebook, however, which I believe is a matter of algorithms. And in the classroom, I tried to make use of my role as a teacher to be a facilitator involving everyone to speak. Granted, it's work. It was not without rewards.
Of course, time and priorities are a factor in any group with voluntary contributing members.
Cheers,
J

Generally only a few people participate. Presumably others have better things to do with their time. For those who teach --this may be different in the UK--in classes of more than, say, 10, isn't it a chiore to get most folks to contribute?
