I understand that I've only been on this list directly for a little
while now. But I do hope to make a decent contribution within this
forum. So far much of the discussions have revolved around
philosophical issues. So I have done my best to express my
philosophy, as others have done.
No flames, just opinions and facts.
It's true my background is developing Gopher. I don't know why some
people instantly assume that Gopher is the 'enemy' of WWW? Perhaps
it's a primitive McCarthyesque reaction that there always must be an
enemy out there.
Rest assured, we don't bite. I've even developed tools that turn a
Gopher server into an <BLINK>HTTP</BLINK> server.
So, can we get back to designing the future? I have to get the rest
of the bugs out of my AmbientSound code....

I was not intending to flame, only to voice my opinions on this
philosophical argument.

This was not meant as a flame, just an observation. As we all know
VRML 1.0 is based on heavily on the Inventor file format. That is a
fact.
VRML was designed to not use HTML like constructs from the very
beginning. That is also a fact.
