Annie,

Jim is what one science fiction story termed an "agent provocateur" (where,
when the world is totally wired and everyone is on email, along comes a
person who talks the talk and walks the walk but is a bit demented and only
a few people can see thru his techno-mumbo-jumbo as being garbage).  His
purpose in life is to drum up controversy and to have people run off in
directions that are unproductive.  Becky Burr, Ira Magaziner, Wilkenson and
other political people cannot often differentiate people who know what they
are talking about and others who mention IPv8 and who sound knowledgable.

It is our responsibility to make sure that our voice is heard and not Jim's.
He emails more than we do, he is far more persistent than we are, but if we
fail to counter his "ravings" - we will soon see people discussing the
benefits of stargates and IPv8 galaxies and balloons.

-Hank
