	I have recently been pointed to comp.society.futures for the
discussions on nanotechnology.  There's not a lot there, but there's
something.  I guess there just aren't as many people as I thought who
have read _EoC_, and certainly not many who want to tackle something
so highly controversial on a scientific level.  Understandable.  The
sociological aspects are easier to deal with at this point.  Still, I've
never known the net.readership to back off from a juicy argument before 8^)
