"Every Home Is Wired":
3 -- The Progressive Rock Community on the Net
<

Along with the factions have emerged particular respected individuals, too: these include frequent participants as well as the controllers of specific online resources (such as Web sites and mailing-lists), and other privileged figures: actual Prog musicians and their close friends, label and mail-order store owners. Such people, Hauben writes, are true Netizens: Bit 50
Netizens are the people who actively contribute online towards the development of the Net. These people understand the value of collective work and the communal aspects of public communications. These are the people who actively discuss and debate topics in a constructive manner, who e-mail answers to people and provide help to new-comers, who maintain FAQ files and other public information repositories, who maintain mailing lists, and so on. These are people who discuss the nature and role of this new communications medium. However, these are not all people. Netizens are not just anyone who comes online, and they are especially not people who come online for isolated gain or profit. They are not people who come to the Net thinking it is a service. Rather they are people who understand it takes effort and action on each and everyone's part to make the Net a regenerative and vibrant community and resource. (n. pag.)
