I also comment in various ways on this topic on my blog as frequently as the muse strikes me. The reason I simply commented by "+1" is that I did not want to contribute to what are often lengthy polemics as to what the "community" is or believes or purports. As best as I can tell there is no true community here, but a diverse set of players with diverse interests and perspectives. If you follow my writings closely you know that I see linked data as a useful and often desirable technique, but not a means. In your enthusiasm and cheerleading you as often turn people off as inspire them. You too frequently take it upon yourself to "speak for the community". Semgel is a nice contribution being contributed by a new, enthusiastic contributor. I think this is to be applauded, not lectured or scolded. Semgel is certainly as much on topic as most of the posts to this forum. There is a reason I and Structured Dynamics no longer comment or participate on these forums. If I hear from others correctly, our perspective is shared by many. I will not comment further on this thread. Thanks, Mike > -- __________________________________________ Michael K.
