Recently on The WELL, in response to a discussion of the treatment accorded virtual interface technology by the popular press, I listed seven questions that begged an answer. These questions are not being treated in the popular press, which prefers to concentrate on the more sensational aspects of the technology. These questions extend the "virtual debate" beyond mere considerations of machinery. I hope you find them stimulating. Subsequently, I will post each question separately and hope that it stirs a little thought about the larger issues confronting us as a community of interest. I'll do them one at a time, so that the threads don't get overly large and complex. Let me know what you think about this process and if it contributes to the success of the newsgroup.
