Here's where we stand: the discussion group has raised your "not-particularly-constructive" post as something worth thinking about. It's going to look at it from many different angles, digest it, and excrete a bunch of differing opinions about it. Then it will be up to each individual person to decide what to take away from it. That's how this machine works. You ask for "a piece of seriously good interaction design work produced in the last ten years that was the effort of someone who belongs to this organization or posts to this list." What are your criteria? Does Adaptive Path's Charmr count? What about 10/GUI? Those are a couple of very public examples, and I know there are others that aren't coming to mind at the moment. Most of the work isn't so open. I'd like to think that I've done some "seriously good" work in the past ten years, but as a lot of it is for the military, I can't show it. The only way you are likely to see it is if you are defusing bombs in Iraq or maintaining an aircraft carrier. I know that a lot of my colleagues on this list are in the same boat. Best, Jack Jack L.
