I'm quite certain you're right on the philosophies and life agendas, but
I'm not quite as sure about the computer religions. There must be a
pretty big overlap, because ZigZag and your other designs have so much I
wished for before I knew them. But I think we're both unable because of
time and communication constraints to work out the exact border where I
want something different than you; and that there are differences, there
is no doubt. You don't see problems where I see them, problems so big
that they make me accepting trade-offs in other places.

I will do my own extensions of ZZ for certain, and when they're finished
we may want to talk about them again. Or not.I hope to be able to help
out at the points where our ideas of virtuality design overlap, though;
and I hope that I will be able to contribute there even when our ideas
diverge in other areas.

I agree.
