Good listservs are like good videogames: it's not that any single element is better than anything else you could find on the Web, it's the artistry by which bits and pieces of Web-info, news flashes, subradioactive debris, walrus diatribes and manifestos written by penguins with satellite uplinks all somehow converges into a Greater Whole.
