    << I agree with this, Vincent, but you have to agree with the fact, from a
    meme- eye- view ( and I don 't mean here Blackmore 's stance) that now
    memetics in general is of a greater importance than it used to be,
    don 't you !?
    Now memes as pieces of information strike another part of the balance.
    You do see that, don 't you !?
    And I equally agree with Jess Tauber post, a lot is still open to debate...
    I suggest we begin immediately...

    Best,
