Alan et al.  Presently wsn has two moderators.  I handle Tues, Thurs, and 
weekends.  The name of the person handling the other days escapes me.  I do my 
best to get the wsn messages out quickly, and usually check my mail many times 
on any given day.  Despite the hype about e-mail being instantaneous, I've 
often found wsn (premoderation) and other lists to sometimes slow down in 
getting messages out when traffic is heavy.  Currently wsn does not receive the 
sorts of spam you describe for psn, although this certainly might change.

Elson, I am not sure what happened to your commentary on Wallerstein.  I 
remember reading it.  I'd like to blame it on computer error, but I suspect it 
was a human one (i.e. I may have spaced on hitting the 'accept' button after 
reading through it).  My apologies if this was the case.

Khaldoun--the thread on 'total occupation' was begun on January 15 by  
Zainiddin Karaev.  If anyone is interested in older wsn mail check the archive

Everyone:  Please avoid using capital letters when not called for--it is the 
cyber equivalent of yelling.
