Subject: citations of e-journal articles

Surfed into your cite and noticed the info you posted to "Skip" about
how to cite CMC in a bibliogrpahy. Good suggestions. In case you're
interested, this is how the American Psychological Association (APA)
suggests citation.

For on-line journals with general access (not subscriber-based):

Last name, Initials. (Year, Month). Article title [length of article
   in paragraphs]. Journal Title [the words "on-line serial"], volume#
   (issue#). Available: pathname.

The example for the CMC article you cited would then be:

Bilodeau, A. (1994, July) Into the net: A reporter's transformation
   [26 paragraphs]. Computer-Mediated Communication Magazine [on-line
   serial], 1(3). Available http://www.december.com/cmc/mag/
   archive.html

As far as I know, there is no on-line source for APA. I got this
information from the newest (1994, fresh off the press) edition
of their publication manual. 

Just for reference, APA says right in their text that their forms for
E-mail citations are based on the following publication:

Li, X., & Crane, N. B. (1993). Electronic style: A guide to citing
   electronic information. Westport, CT: Meckler.
