Re: DIG-L: a note on "philosophical" vs. "technical" discussions

[Paul Harris <paul.harris@adelaide.edu.au>]

Welcome Lowell, I think a good thing about this list is that by each
making a small contribution we can all be a big help. Have you noticed
an increase in traffic? Maybe we are reaching a point where we can
progress from the mainly technical (which HAS to be fairly right before
we start to push ahead with publicity) to a wider discussion including
politics, economics (damm them) and philosophy.
