Yahoo and similar Email List "Groups" perform a useful function: broadcasting of news, analysis, and opinion to interested parties. Such Groups are less useful for in-depth, productive debate because, in "Groups" where such debate is even allowed, the debate post thread is physically difficult for readers and participants to track AND is susceptible to disruption by the "simple" and the "ill-intentioned." Too often, email inboxes are overwhelmed with NOISE!
A-albionic Research, therefore, has moved its Groups from Yahoo to a web based Message Board format (a-albionic.com) with multiple "topic categories" designed to push back the frontiers or ruling class / conspiracy theory.
Several long-term debates of significant profundity are currently in-progress. The debate between "Ole Dude" and "Yours Truly" regarding uni-conspiracy vs multi-conspiracy paradigms is especially interesting (at least to me). Another way of conceptualizing my debate with "Ole Dude" is "Master Conspiracy" vs. "Competing Conspiracies."
