[ppy] Sure, as Peter Brown suggested (ref:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2007-03/msg00012.html#nid01)
let's make sure the subject line does match the content of our posts. (02)
Also, please make "Ontology Summit 2007" discussions at the
[ontology-summit] list, and non-summit-related (but Ontolog-relevant)
discussions at the [ontolog-forum] list. Regarding the former, please
allow me to elaborate by way of my next post where I will reiterate
our objectives again (it has not been changed!) (03)
Cheers. =ppy
