Hi BB, I hope you remarks are not aimed at me. I believe I gave a pretty accurate portrayal of the situation and discussions I had with Mr Hart decades ago. Mr Hart was a pioneer of text digitalization. I would go as far and say he coined the term of etext, though I can not be sure that was some thirty years ago! regards Keith Am 18.10.2012 um 19:12 schrieb Bowerbird@aol.com:

most of you people didn't care even a little bit what michael hart thought when he was _alive_.

yet you're arguing which one of you represents the true intent of his aim with this project now that he is dead and gone to greener pastures?

yeah, right, like i really believe you now.

have some respect for the dead, by leaving him _out_ of your never-ending balls of confusion...

michael was wrong on more than one occasion, but he _never_ let himself get mired in a tar-pit of confusion like the messes y'all create here...

the man sprinkled sugar on his pizza for energy, for crying out loud, and much more likely to err on the side of certainty than confused catatonia.

which, if you haven't noticed, is what ails this list.
