hi mike,
I will be willing to volunteer for moderating/summarizing for a week (or two
if needed). I won't be able to do this during the first two weeks of april,
the first week of may, or the first week of june. (Mega, AERA, R&P,
AIR=busy, busy, busy, sort of) As I look through the table of contents and
think back on my previous reading of the work, I think Ch2 material or the
second half of chapter 4 would be best for me. But I'm willing to fill in
anywhere you need someone depending on who else volunteers. I too am
surprised by your message that noone is volunteering, from the comments i've
read, it seems a lot of people want to do this. Probably people just feel
intimidated about some "responsibility".
Let me know.

"It seems ridiculous to me to attempt to study society as a mere observer.
He who wishes only to observe will observe nothing, for as he is useless in
actual work and a nuisance in recreations, he is admitted to neither. We
observe the actions of others only to the extent to which we ourselves
act." - Jean Jacque Rousseau
