Many thanks for these comments, Jed. Very thought-provoking, and very helpful.
I'll look further at ISCMNS, and ponder your points.

Actually, Bill Collis is probably doing the best anyone could over at ISCMNS: http://www.iscmns.org/index.htm I would say these are the main reasons the field cannot be effectively organized: Most researchers are old, tired, discouraged or dead. Researchers have no money. Many of them see no value in organizing. Many feel that others in the field are doing low quality work or making mistakes in theory, and they do not wish to be associated with them. Researchers tend to be rugged individualists who think they should tough it out and solve all problems by themselves. - Jed
