A better question might be: How can we organize all of this so that we can efficiently "borrow" from each other? Also, I suspect that many participants here (myself included) might be better off in another venue. Wouldn't it be nice if they could simply be directed to somewhere else that better appreciates them? Perhaps someone here who better understands these other groups (you or Samsonovich?) could provide a paragraph (and hyperlink) about each to aid is this triage. Thanks for the info.
