Mr. Lieveratos The charm of our discipline is that we focus on what connects, rather than what distinguishes us. Exempli gratia, if there was one lasting impression from last weeks conference, it was the confirmation of your own viewpoint (as posed during your introduction on Thursday) that the fruitfull interacting and exchange of ideas would bring the older (analog) and younger (digital) generations within the field closer together. I do understand (given the strict frame provided by the Organising Committee) that choises have to be made, but by planning your tutorial PARALLEL to the meeting of the Commission, you distance yourselve (in my opinion) from the inspiring principle you inducted just last week? Why not bring together the generations in one session yet again? Was the possibility of one history-session ever discussed?
