%X In this paper I have suggested that the electornic text-capturing and
                               quote/commenting (Q/C) capability that has emerged in the last two decades
                               has created the possibility of combining the discipline and reflectiveness of
                               writing with the speed and interactiveness of speech in a form of interactive
                               cognition that is sui generis and without precedent. Whether with another
                               interlocutor or with a text, the interaction can now take place at the speed of
                               thought, rather than at the lamentably slow turnaround time that paper
                               communication had dictated. A series of experiments is described that will
                               analyse and quantify the effects of Q/C interaction, both between people and
                               between people and texts. In the interests of developing a corpus in the
                               service of the latter form of interaction, plans for the establishment of a
                               worldwide cognitive science e-print archived modeled on the Los Alamos
                               Physics Preprint archive are also described.
