Paul Bruno has the right response to the Dave Winer comments I referenced earlier. Jorn talks about dealing with regularly published web data and how that might be pulled together... Dave Winer misses the point again in his latest DaveNet. He asks why Unix doesn't have a single desktop environment. It's because most of us Un*x users don't want one. Give me genericism, give me configurability, put me in an environment built for evolution, not for dictated stasis. I don't want someone else's ideal environment, I want an environment customized by me that's evolved to meet my working style.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
