Dear respected colleagues,
One of our energetic, highly motivated members with plenty of 
chutzpah (social courage verging on audacity) ought to contact Clive 
Thompson, the author of this article, and try to trace the social 
route through which he heard of Moreno, thus applying the method 
being described to itself. Did Thompson just see Moreno's name in a 
book (if so what book) or did he know somebody who knew somebody who 
knew somebody who went to a psychodrama demonstration once. How may 
links are involved? Will the search reach a dead end because the 
subjects will be reluctant to name their contacts? If this happens 
the person being asked  might agree to contact their source and ask 
if it's alright to give their name for this little research project. 
It might be done in person, by phone, by postal mail or by email. 
Whoever does this, if anyone does, ought to have a copy of the 
article and an affiliation or other identification so it is clear 
that they are not some crank. I suspect that Mr. Thompson might be 
willing to cooperate because of the positive tone to this kind of 
research in his article. One can sometimes get word through to a 
Times writer by addressing them c/o The New York Times.

It is obvious that this is not real sociometry but it might be a way 
to gain some attention if the results are interesting. Then we could 
explain what real sociometry might reveal.

   Imagine my surprise this past Sunday as I was reading the magazine 
section of the NY Times and there was an article of social 
networking. Jacob  Moreno was mentioned as one of the first people to 
look at social connections and mention was made of his work in 
drawing sociograms. I almost fell off my couch to see his name, 
there, not in a journal article of book but in the Times. here is the
