Hello Wilf,

Don't eat your circuit (I guess this mail is only 0.5%, but that's a start
for you not to eat your circuit) ... even the smallest one might hurt your
stomach, and even if it doesn't .... it's a waste of circuit :)

I agree with you, and also with Dennison: also I believe that there is a
lot of inteligence on the list and that we should never underestimate or
think it is minor to Tildens, neither should we get stuck too much to
Tildens inventions .... or maybe conventions, they should be combined with
our own ideas and I think there isn't much point in discussing whether they
are BEAM or not.

About what Dennison wrote, quote: 'We only really get the stuff that leaks
out of the Lab.' To a certain point I agree with this ... I am wondering if
there are publications we all missed somehow. I've looking through
databases at our Uni-library, which are quite big, but haven't been able to
find publications. The only ones so far are the ones that are mentioned on
webpages of people on this list ... do we miss something or does Tildens
reasearch has some 'secret'-label attached to it?

Regards,

Wouter Brok.
