1812 -
181201 - Follow up ref SDS 96 0000, ref SDS 93 0000.
181202 -
181203 - Denham explains attribution leads to social pathologies.  He has a
181204 - group looking into POIMS, and requests pointers to explain role of
181205 - time in human reasoning, which is part of Knowledge Management.
181206 - ref SDS 0 AY6M  Denham confirms his focus on human side of KM.
181207 - ref SDS 0 NH5R

181210 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 responding to Denham's request for pointers

181606 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Denham responding to the letter,
181607 - ref DIP 1 0001, sent to him yesterday, ref SDS 96 0001, and noticing
181608 - the error in his letter on 010217 on the name "Jack." ref DRP 1 0001
181610 -  ..
181611 - Denham mostly works in Wiki and tends to leave all of the comments
181612 - without signatures.  Strong attribution and rating schemes e.g.
181613 - slash.dot lead to social pathologies IMO.  Think this view is quite
181614 - extreme, and there are sound reasons to linking some forms of content
181615 - to people, if only to provide additional context and a 'go to' for
181616 - questions and learning. ref DRT 1 2R5N
181618 -      ..
181619 -     Would be helpful to get an example of attribution to original work
181620 -     that advances fundamentals, and leads to social pathologies.  The
181621 -     encyclopedia, discussed on 940510, ref SDS 8 8403, has a lot of
181622 -     information on development of ideas, methods, tools.  It uses
181623 -     attribution without evident social pathologies.
181625 -      ..
181626 -     Why are rating schemes needed?
181628 -      ..
181629 -     On 000614 Eric Armstrong reported that DKR work, like Denham Grey
181630 -     is doing with Brint, is tricky. ref SDS 43 0895

530813 -     with people (illustrated by the Howard Hughes, example on 010114,
530814 -     ref SDS 92 9GWA), rather than using technology to help set and
