<p>Glen -</p>
<p>You have taken good humored sarcasm (Snark*) to "the next level"
(another modern idiom I am just coming to recognize) here. It
feels like you've captured FriAM-at-large pretty well here... or
at least the arc of our discussions-of-late. Not only the
discussions, but to some extent the "nut" of some of them. <br>
</p>
<p>Your spoof of an idea to ontologize the fruits of our discussions
and the metaphorize them across domain-specific ontologies comes
way too close to at least one holy grail of a project or two I've
worked on (thus my references to a "Faceted Ontology". I'm not
saying your snark is empty, nor that the holy grail I refer to was
entirely unachievable, mostly just appreciating how well you
nailed it here, and perhaps (en caricature?) captured some of what
Nick has been wishing and hoping for... <br>

Carry On,

<p><tt>Ha! And a boon would be we can transform it arbitrarily

written about, say, evolutionary biology could be mapped ...
