All right. Call it my prejudice. In general, most of the listmembers can be
summed as such: really like to discuss the technical aspects of SR (rules,
equipment, and such), enjoy SR novels (judging from previous postings of 30+
messages discussing paragraphs in Dragonheart and others), enjoy the
conspiracies in SR, and are more organized than most lists (T-shirts,
getting together at various cons, etc.). Now, there will be half a dozen
people+ who will immediately object to this post. I've spoken with some of
them. Not all of us meet this description, but a goodly number do, judging
from the messages I get every day. Therefore, my generalization. Everyone
who replies to this will all object to my definition, but there you go...
that's where I'm coming from.
