I have stayed out of this discussion thus far, and will retreat once again 
after this post. I must confess basic agreement with Clay's argument above. 
As a matter of fact, I have a recently published journal article on the 
subject, an earlier version of it is available on my web site:
<http://faculty.bbc.edu/rdecker/documents/commtext.pdf>
The published version is: "Communicating the Text in the Postmodern Ethos 
of Cyberspace: Cautions Regarding the Technology and the Text," Detroit 
Baptist Seminary Journal 5 (fall 2000): 45-70.

Clay is quite clear that he does not oppose technology. Neither do I. But I 
think that both of us sense some dangers in using it without an adequate 
dose of discernment.
