Willard,
With a big gathering looming (Glasgow) it is not without a certain
timeliness that I praise John Lavagnino's report on the humanities
computing colloquium held at King's College London in May.

John's report weaves a lovely narrative. There is a flair for the
personalities involved. It is not a mere reportage. I do appreciate the
reshuffling of the presenations in his report. He does not follow the
order of the scheduled presentation. I do like the narrative line he casts
from the problem of machines dealing with ambiguity through to the
collaborative mysteries of community via the tension between formalization
and deformation.
I wish all who attend the gathering in Glasglow and those of us who will
follow the proceedings from afar an equally enriching experience.
