Hi Jim --

I agree much more than disagree (in fact, I don't think I disagree at all). 
I certainly have no interest in throwing stones at anyone. I was merely 
observing that truly important aspects of the web were done wrong, even 
though the better ways had already been around for many years, and in case 
of Engelbart, decades.

There is a certain analogy to "pop culture" vs "developed culture" that 
might obtain here. And pop cultures often take over when something hits and 
expands faster than education can keep up.

Cheers,

Alan
