HI Peter (01)
I have seen two or three posts going around (dont remember by whom)
which seemed to imply that someone who has certain beliefs (whatever)
or professional background,, or simply a different approach to reality
and knowledge representation is not making a useful contribution to
this forum. Obviously not everybody is interested in an open
confrontation
Freedom of expression must be protected in an open community. (02)
The survey is great, thanks a lot
however I must say, it may benefit from further refinement - have we
consulted user profiling experts in this community to make sure that
we are asking the right questions and using the right words? (03)
It's extremely difficult to put a meaningful survey togethr in this
field, as the survey may contain instrisic bias (04)
Is it too late to make a contribution there?
or maybe next time? can we open a wiki page to make
suggestions/improvements to the survey for futures? (05)
cheers (06)
