I can understand why some participants in this discussion are impatient. URI arguments are basically infinite, as Platonists seem utterly incapable of recognizing a world of representations that is more than shadows while the rest of us live among the shadows and work with their surprisingly concrete substance. Despite that perpetual impasse, is there any chance that the TAG could take seriously its commitment to public discussion rather than batting away anyone who happens to disagree with views held by practically no one except a core of supposed URI experts? Comments like the above - which are far from unusual in the URI space - do absolutely nothing to further the conversation. Maybe www-tag could use a moderator. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com -- http://monasticxml.org
