1. The issue of copyrights and rights of authors in the Internet age is
evolving and it would be interesting to see how things shape up because of
the issue of freedom of expression, right to quote someone, and the varied
laws of the countries of the world on these issues.

2. I am glad that you are taking the time to talk about Internet at Krotona.

3. It may be time for someone to give a lecture to the TSA Elected Officials
none of whom I am yet to see in the cyberspace -- maillists and usenet
groups. Writing about Internet in the official magazine does not translate
into active dynamic participation in the cyberspace. Apart from the e-mail
addresses at Olcott, I am yet to see e-mail addresses of the elected officials.
