I'm sorry for putting this on the list, but

Michael-

  there is usually a certain prefix that you can dial before you
make a call in order to eliminate call waiting. For New York
Telephone it is something like *7. I got rid of my call waiting
about a month ago, all it took was one call to the phone company.
I think, you should give it a try.


OMC: RE: Paul's query about prog. rock. You should definitely get
Gentle Giant albums - their price is about $8 per album at Noteworthy,
which seems quite inexpensive to me. One day I will buy a CD player,
and _Octopus_ would probably be my first purchase.

Leonard asks:
>What is the strangest/wildest album cover you've seen.

strangest:  Physical Graffiti or Led Zep III (Led Zeppelin) on vinyl
wildest:    I like anything Hypgnosis does.  They're the coolest.

>What is your favorite album cover.

The Beatles _White Album_ .  After all that psychedelic insanity from
1966-68, this was a welcome sight.  It came out at the right time.

The Beatles _Revolver_ .  The black and whiteness of the cover
sets the mood for the textures and the sound enclosed.  Klaus Voorman did
the cover.  If you notice, Paul is looking outward, John is introspective,
George is looking squarely at you (being the most direct of the group),
and Ringo is looking up towards Paul (symbolic?).  The British release
is by far better than the US one.

>What is the srangest/wildest band name.

Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys.  It's sad to note that Buck has
since been killed.

>Favorite band name.......How did Pink Floyd come up with their name.

Hard to say, there are many bands I like that have mediocre names, and
many bands that have great names but suck.  Pink Floyd got their name
from Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, two blues faves of Syd Barrett, the
original guitarist for Pink Floyd, until he tripped too far out...

I recently sent mail to the network - and hope it wasn't too confusing.  The
question was asked concerning memorable comp questions for prospective qual
researchers.  My question is - why is the request being made?  I phrase my
questions according to the individual - and I don't have grad students sit
down and write for 4 hours.  I try to pose the questions over the course of
6 weeks.  Anyway, I could go on but feel like I need a rationale for the
question.  Thanks.

  Interesting how our own limited experiences can influence our perceptions.
For al practical purposes Apple never discovered most of northeast Ohio, and
one has to have been attached to just the right mailing list to discover
what exists for Mac.

  If I had been writing the last sentence of the above quoted paragraph
it would have read, "Several of the above programs are for IBM compatibles,
but similar software probably exists for Mac."  With few exceptions I seem
to get all of Microsoft's mailings regarding MS-DOS directed materials, but
almost none of their parallel works for Mac.  The same is true for a
couple of the others although I must be on the mailing lists of at least
twenty retail marketers (a few of the smaller ones, have both markets
in one catalog, but most are unbelievably segregated).

   I've been arguing a similar point with regard to software for quantitative
analysis for years.  At least do it once by hand (and repeat until you get
it right); then perhaps the software method.  I would argue the same point
regarding the use of statistics by those who use a program to tell them a
significance level.  First learn what "alpha" and "beta" errors are about,
then perhaps stating one will not make you think you have PROVED something
by the number crunching.

  (Jumping off of soapbox.)  Thunk.

Dear Markku:

First, I'd be interested in the compilation of answers. Second, what I have
found in the past is that people LOVE to draw up their own networks. In
addition to the diaries, you might give them sheets that ask them to keep
track of telephone calls (received and made); gifts given and received;
meals eaten with whom; chance encounters with whom; email contacts with
.... etc. You get the idea. Just ask them to put down names; classify them
later so as not to introduce bias.

Looks like a fun project.

All the best,

Sometimes it's easy to overlook the obvious.  Three major anthro

__American Anthropologist__  Janet Dixon Keller, Editor-in-Chief
__American Ethnologist__  Donald L. Brenneis, Editor
(Both of these can be addressed %American Anthropological Assn,

__Journal of Anthropological Research__  Philip K. Bock, Editor;
Robert Leonard, Book Review Editor  (%Department of Anthropology,
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131-1561.)

Addresses and editors' names taken from issues I could reach from
the computer: Sep 92, Feb 92, Fall 91 respectively.

I also think of __Anthropological Quarterly__ and and and, but
they're not within reach and I've got a backup of 100 messages.

     Hi.  I'm new to computers and to E-mail, but am anxious to meet  and
correspond with new colleagues.  I am an anthropologically oriented folklorist.
My dissertation was an ethnography of singing of a border community in Northern
Ireland in which I wrote about how Catholics and Protestants use singing as a
means of conflict management.  I am currently revising the work for
publication, and already have an article on this subject in a book.  Of course,
this reasearch got me interested in expressive culture and conflict generally.
I hope to develop course materials on this matter, and would love to correspond
with folks who have been working with expressive culture and conflict in other
paarts of the world.

     I am also working in New Brunswick, Canada in a region where three
cultures interact--Anglophone, Acadian French, and Micmac.  I have been working
with traditional singers who are bi-lingual and bi-cultural and examining how
they juggle abeing bi-cultural musically.  I have been studying the influence
of the Miramichi Folksong Festival, which is put on by locals for locals, on
patterns of linguistic and musical code-switching.  Ultimately, I want to find
out about what this code-switching says about ethnic identity, accculturation,
and power differentials.  I have written on this subjecat, too, and will have a
paper coming out in the British journal, Lor and Language.  I would love to
share my work with people.  As an unemployte Ph.D., I too often feel that I'm
working in isolation.

     To sum up, my intersts include: expressive culture and conflict and the
anthropology of violence generally, esthnic idenity, performance studies,
Ireland, Canada, but I'm generally a learning junkie.  My username is msteiner
and I'm at ucs Indiana and edu.  I don't know where all the points go, but
hopefully experienced e-mail users could figure this out.  I'm looking forward
to dialoguing with academically kindred souls.

Rather than just _reporting_ your "findings," why not make your argument about
what you see in the data part of the paper -- that is, take as one of the
problems you need to solve _demonstrating_ your coding with examples of data so
that a reader can see how you did it, and (if they are so inclined) argue that
what you say is there isn't based on their readings of the data you've
included.

Don't worry.  The message just got sent to the discussion group instead
of to listserv@uga.  But it reminds me to remind all QUALRS-L subscribers
that they may want to send this message to listserv@uga:

tell listserv@uga set qualrs-l nomail

This shuts off your mail from the group in case you are going to be gone
so long that the mail may overflow your account.  When you return, just
send the counter message to listserv@uga

tell listserv@uga set qualrs-l mail

Subject:      Advice on reliability

I realize that this is well worn territory but I need some very
concrete advice.  I am doing data analysis on four group interviews done
with human rights advocates.  The data are very rich and I am really
enthusiastic about what I am finding.  However, as I move toward
writing articles I am plagued with the claims so often leveled against
qualitative researcher of "subjectivity."  Now without getting into the
discussion of all inquiry being subjective, I need some help from the
seasoned, and published, researchers in the network.  How would you
recommend that I address the question of subjectivity?   My first thought
is to devise some type of proof that my coding is sound.  However, data
triangulation is out.  I cannot go back into the field because these
were "one-shot" interview sessions.  So, what do you recommend I do
in order to get this work taken seriously by reviewers who like to see
"objective" proof of coding and data analysis rigor?

Please send advice to the list as a whole, I know there are a number
of us on the list, particularly those working in psychology, who are
constantly confronted with this problem.  Thanks in advance.  Todd Jennings.

This is my first try at posting, so we'll see how it goes.  I had an additional
resource about computer programs for data management and data analysis.  A
recent book chapter that I've read has some nifty ideas about how to use a
wordprocessing program to do some basic coding and sorting of fieldnotes and
transcripts.  The citation is:  Reid, A. O. Jr. (1992).  Computer management
strategies for text data.  In B. F. Crabtree & W. L. Miller (Eds.), "Doing
qualitative research" (pp. 125-145). Newbury Park,CA: Sage.  The book is
actually intended for people in health services/nursing, I think, but many of
the chapters are relevant to anyone doing qualitative research.

The Reid chapter uses Wordperfect 5.1 as its example and discusses how to use
some creative macros (he gives all the keystrokes to set up the macros) to
clean up transcripts, to do some basic coding, and even to do some basic
sorting.  There are lots of limitations and cautions (e.g. you can only sort
across one file at a time), and the author emphasizes these.  He also stresses
that the software specifically designed for qualitative data (Ethnograph,
etc.)are more powerful and desirable for many projects.  Still, I think there
are many times (short, quick studies; preliminary analysis; students or others
with access to a wordprocessing program such as 5.1, but not to other software)
that this approach to using macros is a nice "low-tech" (within the computer world,
anyway) of proceeding.
