I have understood the purpose of this list as one of studying
memesis in general, not the proselytization of memesets to which
one is particularly attached. People who cannot get beyond their
particular memes to consider memetics in general, are examples
of memetics in action, but are not themselves pursuing memetics
itself - just propagating their particular memes (something which
can be found on any fundamentalist list of any religious stripe).
We have generally here attempted to converse at a higher level of
abstraction and generality; talking ABOUT meme and memeset
spread in general, not spreading particular memes ourselves.
Theory - not practice.
