Jean-Paul, Thank you for you kind comments.
I look forward to hearing about your system. Edward W. Porter Porter & Associates 24 String Bridge S12 Exeter, NH 03833 (617) 494-1722 Fax (617) 494-1822 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Jean-paul Van Belle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 8:22 AM To: agi@v2.listbox.com Subject: Re: [agi] Do the inference rules.. P.S. When commenting on a lot of different items in a posting, in-line responses make more sense and using ALL-CAPS in one accepted way of doing it in an email client/platform neutral manner. I for one do it often when responding to individual emails so I don't mind at all. I do *not* associate it with shouting in such a context - especially not in the light of the extremely high-quality contributions made by Edward on this list (I, for one, think that he has elevated the level of discussion here greatly and I have archived more of his postings than anyone else's). I do agree that small-caps is easier on the eye. However, Durk, if one wishes to comment on posting etiquette, I thought one other rule was to quote as little of the previous post as necessary to make one's point ... some members may still have bandwidth issues ;-) (just kidding!) And, for the record, after reading AI literature for well over 20 years and having done a lot of thinking, the AGI architecture I'm busy working on is strongly founded on insights (principles, axioms, hypotheses and assumptions:) many of which are remarkably similar to Edward's views (including those of the value of past AI research projects, the role of semantic networks and the possibility of symbolic grounding) though I (obviously) differ on some other aspects (e.g. complexity :). I hope to invite him and some others to comment on my prototype end-2008 (and possibly contribute thereafter :) ^.^ Jean-Paul Research Associate: CITANDA Department of Information Systems Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (+27)-(0)21-6504256 Fax: (+27)-(0)21-6502280 Office: Leslie Commerce 4.21 >>> "Kingma, D.P." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2007/10/12 10:57 >>> Dear Edward, may I ask why you regularly choose to type in all-caps? Do you have a broken keyboard? Otherwise, please restrain from doing so since (1) many people associate it with shouting and (2) small-caps is easier to read...
