<div dir="ltr">Nicely stated, João, I like that. It feels rather close to the academic circles concept of reference. Since if I read your paper, I have incorporated it into my thinking, I need to reference your paper as a source in the expression of my own thoughts.<br> <div><br></div><div style>Thanks, I'll remember that one.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 3:03 PM, João Mesquita <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joao@nogordio.com" target="_blank">joao@nogordio.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Lewy,<br> <br> That's an open source mantra that simply states that If I state an opinion about something you are free to agree with me and make it your own opinion and perhaps add something to the discussion - your point of view.<br> <br> And you can share my opinion or your new opinion with others.
