I meant to reply to this but then suddenly found myself having written 
possibly the longest piece I ever came up with in the history of this list, 
with not enough time to edit it down to something palatable.

Rather than bore the list subscribers with yet another ten-page diatribe on 
Society governance and project sketches I decided to put it up on the Web 
where those people who are *really* interested in this sort of thing can find 
it. Look at

if you have nothing more worthwhile to do with yourselves. If you have 
comments you know where to find me :^)
