belief is that the first step must be towards creating a consistent body of
academic work to form the foundation for a movement that is consistent on the
inside. Debate over specific technologies and their desirability/feasibility
must take a back seat to this overarching goal. But who is to take on this work?
And how are others' to bring themselves in line with it without compromising
their own beliefs?<SPAN class=390262301-28062010><FONT
