In his column from the LA Times (which also runs in the Boston
Globe) like two weeks back, in talking about the Internet he
included the point that a major part of the Internet's importance
and value is the COMMUNITIES it sustains, not just the information
or the technology. (The clipping I'd quote from has hidden
somewhere :-( or is possibly busy mating with my Dave Barry
book :-)
Hurrah and huzzah, it's a pleasure and relief to see this point
made in the public press, for a change.
