[liberationtech] Liberation Tech would like a word.

[Bruce Phillips]

I joined this in this very beginning when it was mentioned on the American
sociological association sociology and computing list-serve. I don't study
the subject myself--I am just a lurker but have learned much from the
list-serve and glad it will continue.

Thanks
