Will definitely look at that- thankfully available used at the bookstore next door. Oh, and I've been meaning to reply <a href="http://foo-snarf.livejournal.com/83802.html" rel="nofollow">to this</a> once the semester is done. Nutshell: New York is very much myth, but in the Barthes sense, with all the messiness (good and bad) that entails. Had never heard of delirious new york- you mean the Koolhaas book?

I hadn't thought of the 20-on-10-off thing though - I'll try it the next time I have a long boring job to do.

Rights and rules only work if you have built a system of "trust" so you can verify and enforce. Without it, I don't see how communities/economies that are needed can be erected. The stumbling block is that anonymity is an essential part of what facilitates online interaction, and I can't see how anonymity and trust can coexist in the same system. I don't think its just the "online data world," I think it extends to the complete "online world."
