So the word "audience" is still lackluster...it doesn't fulfill community.

I mean isn't that what it's all about ANYWAY?!!! :) People>peupel,>populus> People meaning: ""body of persons comprising a community." Ian, isn't "community" the operative term? Audience is NOT community. Audience is a sudden grouping. Community is something more persistent. A persistent "audience" is a community. I like dice-throwers!

People>peupel,>populus>

People meaning: ““body of persons comprising a community.”

Ian, isn’t “community” the operative term? Audience is NOT community. Audience is a sudden grouping. Community is something more persistent. A persistent “audience” is a community.

It just seems that "people" is the best general description of all. We know the vagaries of people, so it covers all the bases.

Like the postmodernists' idea of the space between the words being the most telling. Is our culture so hooked into the idea of performer and audience that it can't (yet) verbalise a different state of affairs? Very useful comment.

I was thinking of participant, member, user, constituent, citizen, overseer, committee members, etc. It's something I've never thought about really, but the fact that I haven’t thought about it disturbs me more than not being able to come up with a good term. It reminds me of Wittgenstein's "logik,” which goes something like, “that which is not spoken, is most important.” You got me on this one.
