As many of you already know, Holly Patterson obtained her Doctorate last year and in the course of her work she did her dissertation using AGM as her source for A Study of a Culture in Usenet. It makes for fascinating reading so if you haven't read it yet you can find it here.

More recently, Ahuva Fuchs completed a paper on flame wars and how they are dealt with in AGM and you can find it here. If you haven't yet read it then you're missing a great read! :-)
