For those of you that have not been around the web very long, you might want 
to check out the book below that explains quite of bit on the web's culture 
and community. Even if you have been around the web awhile like me who 
started in 93, this might be a fascinating read.  Only 19.89!  I have no 
affiliation with the author.
