Abstract
Cultures and the practices through which they manifest themselves are not static, but under constant renegotiation. Thus genres are not immutable; they continue to evolve. In the case of Internet discussion it could even be argued that, as a relatively new mode of interaction, it is somewhat more susceptible to change than more traditional forms of communication.
