> MT: I assume you now know and will use “collective effect”, “collective side-effect”, and “collective control” appropriately.

RM: Actually, I plan to use the term “collective control” as little as possible since it refers to only one particular form of social behavior and an extremely rarely observed one, as I will explain in my reply to your post in the [Elections as collective control](http://discourse.iapct.org/t/elections-as-collective-control/15832/2) thread.

Best, Rick
