ABSTRACT

I've been thinking about the meaning of the January "What is CS" thread on the SIGCSE email list. Like many of you, I got behind reading it, and in the back of my mind, I was afraid as I caught up that it might degenerate into that special hell demonstrated on so many newsgroup and Slashdot threads --- a "discussion" gradually dominated by the most polar, loud, and least self-disciplined contributors.
