I concur with Rob that there is distressingly little traffic, but I
am at a bit of a loss as to what can be done to remedy this.  One
would think that discussion of the impact of technology on society
would be a rather sweeping, all inclusive topic, but the actual
discussion that takes place seems rather minimal, especially given
the reputed distribution and readership numbers.

As the editor/moderator, I would certainly be most willing to 
entertain and experiment with different ideas and solutions, and
indeed, perhaps the best thing to do is for me to obsolete myself
and us make comp.society unmoderated?  

Thoughts?  Suggestions?
