There is good reason to be enthusiastic about the growing community and technical base that is evolving around this topic; the accumulating technical insights are surely beginning to point a way to the goal of networks that work so smoothly and automatically as to seem invisible.

I would like to add a note of thanks for that contribution to the emerging community. In this case, flattery got you somewhere. It reminded me to do the administrative action necessary to release your message into the kp-seed sublist! OTOH, note that it is generally bad practice to send your message body in an attachment. The kp-seed list gets a fair amount of spam that I have to delete, and 99% of messages are empty but have attachments are spam and I do not always look carefully at them. So if you don't want your message deleted by mistake, I suggest that you not use an attachment for simple text messages. (This is a case where adding a (gratuitous) level of indirection is NOT a good thing...) ;-) Bob
