- A joint effort by people at various places around the world to do a
- sociological study of lists. When a couple of WORDS-Lers expressed wild
- paranoia about having their words read, WORDS-L was dropped from the tentative
- list of interesting lists to look at. I'm not sure what has happened with
- the project since then. The idea for the project was conceived last May or
- June on the CMC list. Another list, PROJECT-H, was created for the people
- actively interested in the project.
