In my opinion (no, I do not see the need to use silly acronyms) this
discussion epitomises the downside of the LINK list. A good source of
information on ICT issues perenially cluttered with rambling, indulgent
digressions. Maybe a one-in-20 usefulness ratio as far as my job is
concerned (providing the odd bit of advice in the Department of
Communications, IT and the Arts). I will stick with it - thank you Tom
Worthington et al - but please...
