@Eurobubba If you search around you'll find it pretty quickly. Here's the original citation:

Luhmann, Niklas. “Kommunikation mit Zettelkästen: Ein Erfahrungsbericht.” Öffentliche Meinung und sozialer Wandel / Public Opinion and Social Change, edited by Horst Baier et al., VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften, 1981, pp. 222–28. Springer Link, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-322-87749-9_19.
