Jon--Now how can this text (electronic or otherwise) exist without you, 
the reader?  Your comment elaborates the reading nicely; it suggests that 
we do our initial reading much the same way we converse at a party or 
conference:  we listen selectively, wander in and out of topics, 
sometimes engaging old threads and other times ignoring them--the 
"reading" we do, we do like conversation.  However, the "reading " we do 
in terms of using the etext, is more like working with print--we play at 
the words, we quote, and we critique more harshly than we do verbal text.

I'd like to continue work on this topic in the context of online wc 
conferencing.  Anyone else interested?
