Ah, but it *isn't* an empty forwarded message (no, Klassa, not in the sense
you meant :-). It's nonempty because it carries bits -- the mere bits that
say "this agenda is FoRKworthy" :-)
It means this is a conference with clueful people. That it is timely. That
FoRKees should double-check if they recognize the people and topics involved.
The perhaps-less-visible subtext is that it's right around the corner, in
time and in space, so I'm considering attending.

Er, yes, that IS a problem. We'll all find out once we figure out what
contintents I'm on this summer (and hence May). And do you mean
paper(s)? I never heard about that wireless one. And what's HomeBase?
How 'bout WikiWikiWeb?

"The Vision of Poker"? "How Poker will affect the future of business"?
"Poker: theory and applications"? "Join the Poker Consortium today"?
HUH? How are they alike? Or is it that both games can be won by vicious
bluffers?
