The best characterization of this list that has been written during its
long existence has been: "The anarchy-list is like a pub where the theme
happens to be anarchy."

This list will get into theoretical conversations and it frequently has
some entertaining flame wars. The list volume has died down for two main
reasons: 1) the availibility of hundreds of local and thematic anarchist
lists; and 2) the popularity of anarchism and anarchist activism has
given many of us less time to post here.

Did any of the list members see my interview on Canadian TV on Sunday
night? If you saw it, I'd appreciate your opinions.
