Samantha, although I agree with your position about fuzziness vs rigid
hierarchical schemes (and other things), your reply here didn't help move
the discussion forward.
Eli's point I think was a response to a perceived anthropomorphism in your
line of reasoning. If that was the case, then it was a valid response.
However, judging from your previous posts I doubt that was what you had in
mind.
Personally I find it difficult to know if the architecture would fall apart
simply because I have difficulty modelling it.
It would probably help the discussion if Eli could quickly sum up his goal
architecture without refering to a monster web page, if indeed that's
possible.
Oh, and that reminds me, how's the Friendliness piece coming along?
Cheers,
Dale Johnstone.
