 Dear Subscribers,

 Having followed a discussion on (preparing) studies of gender-
relations within the e-mail and relay-community, me was sent
an interesting paper. This could be of some interest to some of you.
Although it studies aspects of communication on irc-relay, you will
find parallels with bitnet-relay.

 The paper is called *Electropolis - Communication and Community
on Internet Relay Chat*. It is a Honour Thesis, written by
Elizabeth Reid in 1991. It is about the construction of
communication, (self)-representation and community by the users
of irc-relay. In this respect I can recall the recent uses of
the concept of a "Virtual Community". Among other things, you
will find comments on gender-behaviour in relay-communication.

The following tabel will give the ftp-sites (anonymous ftp) where
the document should be available. If you do not have access to ftp,
you can contact me.
