Well, the folks on that list have shown a marked disinterest in hard
tech subjects -- the list seems to be much more intended for the long-term
theoretical view of where things are going. We *did* have some brief
discussion there, and were basically discouraged from doing so.
(Assuming we're talking about the same list, and there isn't another
one that I don't know or have forgotten about.)

I don't see it (and I don't agree with the little you do say here),
but I'll wait until you have time to amplify your comments so I
understand where you're coming from here. I think we may have
different standards for the term "world" here -- what *I* mean is that
the space is mainly contiguous, but the style and presentation may
vary wildly. (And there is absolutely *no* chance that it will be
otherwise, I believe -- getting the Net to agree on anything aesthetic
is harder than herding ferrets...)
