Re: your website

glad to see you getting a web page together.  I've only
had a few minutes to study the site so far and have the
following comments:

1.  http://www.unm.edu/~ajbahm/epistemo/appx.html
    re Subjectivity features a strange 'doubling' of so
    many words, e.g. 
    [E.g., Jainism Jainism, Aristotle Aristotle.]
    [E.g., Spiritualism Spiritualism, Idealism Idealism, 
    Yogacara Yogacara.]
    lots and lots of this goes on -- I can't make sense 
    it. Also, I am left in doubt as to who is the author
    of this piece: the website is different from yours,
    and the only attribution appears at the top:
    Epistemology: Theory of Knowledge, Copyright � 1995, 
    World Books -- I find this dubious or misleading.

2.  The Bucky Fuller poem is interesting, but I'm not
    sure how it relates at all to #1 above.  Also, I am
    of the school that when quoting a published work, 
    a more complete citation should generally be 
    provided, e.g. in this case, the person in charge 
    of this page should add 'Southern Illinois University
    Press' and maybe the Library of Congress number:
    62-16695

3.  http://firetrap.com/firetrap/essays/rational.html
    seems a highly specialized essay in philosophy
    (as does #1).  Although I'm pleased to see the
    citation to Ludwig Wittgenstein (a superstar in
    philosophical circles -- or at least the Vienna 
    one at one time), I have no idea who Daniel Dennett
    is, nor, I think, will most browsers following 
    your invitation.

4.  http://osm7.cs.byu.edu/OSA/generalSpecial.html
    seems an odd link to throw in...

5.  http://poe.acc.virginia.edu/~roa2s/diffraction-xray.html
    ... you've lost me

In sum, I'm at this time unable to make much headway in
deciphering your set of offerings.  The internal content
of the pieces may be clear enough (despite that infernal
doubling in #1) but the connections between them escapes
comprehension.  I feel you owe it to your readers to 
make these connections more explicit.

Note that I feel somewhat obligated to provide this 
quick review of your site because you apparently posted
it using a 'reply function' against my recent memo
re 'Science and the Internet' to the same newsgroups.
Following my own advice as per that memo, I am providing
my frank assessment that your website has so far failed
to gel into a coherent presentation.  But that's no 
reason not to continue with your scholarship -- I hope
you will renew your efforts to make your thinking 
clear to 'dense heads' like me.

PS:  Kirby has been in communication with M. Tagdi 
sporadically for years (not yet met in person though), 
owing to a friend-in-common, one Nick Consoletti.

PPS:  Nick's doin' great Tagdi, asks what you're
up to when he breezes through town.
