  • thanks Andy for posting this. Its such a joyful example of affect and demonstrates the dynamic of Canetti's Open crowd so sweetly. I'm going to use this in a new course on publishing ( in the broadest possible sense) that Andrew Murphie are teaching this year. crowdsourcing, collaboration. etc.
