This now begins my rough draft. From this central location I will branch into a number of other threads that will deal with:

1. Various aspects of my (being created here before us) article on the Dissemination of Breaking News in the Digital Age.

2. The work, message and effects of Mother Abigail's campaign on SARS.

3. Interviews, resources and all the little minutia necessary to understand an event and chronicle it for others.

Have you checked out leadpenny's Columbia crash thread? It was mentioned in several major media outlets as illustrative of "the Dissemination of Breaking News in the Digital Age".

Can somebody explain why Wordmerchant's account has been banned? I am mystified by what is going on on this thread.

However, for what it's worth, I consider Mother Abigail's work invaluable.

I enjoyed the rapport that we had with Mother Abigail. It was pleasant to have repeated knowledgable postings with her and have the benefit of her insight. Thanks Abigail.
