     **************************************************************

     On January 20, 1997, as part of its 4th anniversary celebration,
     MediaMOO held a symposium on online research ethics.  Since not
     very many of the Netoric regulars were able to attend the
     session, for this week's cafe, we'll do the next best thing:
     read the log of the symposium and continue the discussion at
     the Tuesday Cafe.

     The log of the symposium is on the MediaMOO site at:
     http://www.media.mit.edu/~asb/MediaMOO/ethics-symposium.html

     Please take a look at that log, and at the cafe we'll talk
     about the issues from the perspective of our own discipline:
     What should be our standards and procedures for online
     research?

     MediaMOO members have also been discussing these issues on a
     mailing list called *Research on MediaMOO.  There are a lot of
     posts on that list, and MOOmail lists are admittedly awkward
     to read, but if you're interested in seeing more of the
     discussion that's been going on, you can log into MediaMOO
     and read that list.  Here are a couple of ways to read it:

     If you have a MediaMOO character, you can go to MediaMOO and do
     `@subscribe *research' to subscribe to the list; then use
     `@next on *research' (over and over) to read the posts on the
     list one at a time.  Being subscribed to the list means you'll
     be notified when new posts appear on it, and the MOO keeps track
     of where you are in the list so that, for example, any time you
     use the `@next' command, you'll automatically pick up where you
     left off last time.

     If you're using a guest character to log into MediaMOO, or you
     just don't want to be subscribed to the list, you can go to
     MediaMOO and read the posts on the list by doing
     `@peek 1 on *research', `@peek 2 on *research', and so on.
     Since you won't be subscribed to the list, you'll have to keep
     track for yourself of where you are in reading the posts.

     If you only have time to read one thing, though, just read the log
     of the actual symposium; it includes a few key posts from the
     *research list anyhow.

     See you at the Cafe!
