Duane, ... It is very gracious of you to respond with useful
suggestions to Cecelia. However, since they are commercial in
nature, it may be best if you do that offline. =ppy (01)
All, (02)
To make sure Ontolog stays true to its charter and IPR policy,
let's restrict commercially skewed comments and posts to a
community member's wiki name-sake page only. This is especially
true if the poster is associated with, or has a conflict of
interest, with the product/technology/standard being discussed,
and when that product/technology/standard is of a proprietary nature. (03)
We can start a discussion on this, if people feels differently
about how we should handle such posts. (04)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
