Roger, you took the words right out of my mouth, sorry, email. However I was also going to make reference to andyf's posting on "What the Americans do with fibre-based broadband" in which there was the phrase "the consumption of knowledge". Knowledge is a human characteristic, it's something a human has. You can't consume it and you can't open source it. Maybe it's all this new fad for on-line education that's churning out uninformed ambassadors, library directors and journalists. -- Regards brd Bernard Robertson-Dunn Sydney Australia email: [email protected] web: www.drbrd.com web: www.problemsfirst.com Blog: www.problemsfirst.com/blog _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
