...results showed that a listserv originally designed to promote
information sharing became a social testing ground. Instead of freely
sharing knowledge with other members across the listserv, members
used it instead to informally evaluate each other by judging the
astuteness and appropriateness of posted questions and answers. This
activity led to cliques and the concentration of knowledge among
clique members instead of across all listserv members.
