Hello everyone,
SIGCIS and our recent role in discussion of the “inventor of email” incident are written about in the recently published Boston Magazine article “Return to Sender” by Janelle Nanos. She follows the default journalistic “report the controversy” angle, which in my view can be a disservice to readers in a case like this.
Anyway, some interesting updates there. SIGCIS is defined as “a sort of Internet cabal within the Society for the History of Technology” which is certainly a colorful definition.
