Annie, Geert

Thank you for this query, Geert, and Annie, for your essays which Ive read
(and shared) with great interest. The Online Preparation essay is
particularly useful as are your images!

I will write something more substantive and longer, but in the meantime,
came across this critique which I thought I would share. A few points over
simplify matters, but the author is spot on on many points Im sure nettime
readers will agree...
