Thanks, Ross, for clarifying. Maybe my point wasn't clear enough (and
I'm trying to be very clear about that). Luckily I've made this

What did the LIS researchers and thinkers ever do for us? But more to

question, because if they're doing cool and sexy things, then not only
is there a communication problem, but I want in on the action!
