[Reader-list] why we like to download

[Monica Narula]

I have requested Shuddha to excerpt and post on the reader list from 
his reading at the url that Jospehine Bosma mentioned.

For some people on the list this might seem like a strange thing to 
do - after all anyone can go check out things on the url themselves. 
However, i think it might be relevant for many on the list who are 
located in places where low bandwidth, erratic connectivity and high 
costs might deter them from reading online. The fact that a listserv 
is basically downloadable email based is also perhaps why many people 
would join a discussion list - at least that's a reason why i have 
joined lists!

I would request all those people who send in urls to also give some 
excerpts and annotations for those not so wired...

cheers
Monica
