I received an invite a few weeks ago and have been lurking on [rhetoric-list].
Interesting texture.
IMHO, not nearly as intellectually stimulating as this list, but would be an excellent place for the more learned on [lbo-talk] to do a little educating and enlightening of the "masses".
It's a yahoogroup in HTML,with one "Panel" ad on the page (today it was an anemically animated Netflix ad). Actually it's two groups. [pnew-list] is G0lem's (why does that "handle" remind me of a british ham radio callsign?) personal posting portal and a submission channel for longer posts, archivings, etc.
Recently, on a busy day there's about 15-30 posts to [rhetoric-list].

Hi,
Relax.
The G0lem is Hank Roth, a weird combo Jewish war veteran and leftie activist who has been running cyberlists since the days of the BBSs and FidoNet in the mid 1980s.
He is a character, (like I'm not?) but I have traded information and articles with him for almost 20 years, and consider him a friend. He is just trolling for people to join his list. He is probably harvesting e-mails from list archives.
