WHAT IS THE GOAL OF CuD?
ANSWER 2:: The broad goal of CuD is to provide a forum for discussion and debate of the computer telecommunications culture. This culture especially includes, but is not limited to, the unique world of BBSes, Internet, and public access systems. We focus especially on alternative groups that exist outside of the conventional net community. We try to focus on a broad range of issues that include news, debates of legal, ethical, and technical issues, and scholarly research of relevance to a broad audience of professionals and lay persons. Other than providing a context for an article if necessary, the moderators *DO NOT* add commentary of agreement or disagreement. We see our role as one of facilitating debate, although we may take part in discussions in separate articles.
