Peter,

I am not one to generally complain about forum postings, but please do
not use posts like this to negate the CFP "best practices" already
outlined for the public-lod mailing. In addition, assume the same "best
practices" with regards to the BoLD list (which is about the Business of
Linked Data).

Paper submission postings have pretty much destroyed the utility of a
variety of forums. IMHO.
