Hi Charles,
Welcome to the list- or rather welcome to those of us who are out of the
closet!
The big question here, as you kind of end with yourself, is what do you call
a meme, in order to track them in this way?
I think in the long run this kind of thing will be worthwhile- what might it
be called population memetics of something....
Anyway,
Welcome to the open savannah
Vincent
