I see no obstacle to any UFO, quite the opposite. The WordNet
vocabulary (ok different, but having a lot of points in common) is
referred to in many of the the little ontologies. I for one haven't
really come to grips with what's in Cyc, but quite a few people are
using their ontology for reference points. The overall strategy may be
different, but I don't see any conflict.

Thank you, that's how I would have liked to have put it. I'd like to
take the opportunity to apologise to Dr.Prueitt for any offence I may
have caused and dive out of these particular discussions.

Cheers,
Danny.
