[arg_discuss] new researcher and educator listserv

[Hugh Davies]

Nice work Christy.



I'm as guilty as anyone for not participating in the discussions on this
list, however i do enjoy overhearing what is said. As I maneuver my work in
to cross platform gaming and ARG's I hope to have a lot more to contribute
myself.  Thanks for putting us all in this loop.
