I am gathering all your comments on information vs data, which I am
digesting for inclusion in a book I'm writing -- probably in the chapter
on Context.  The book is whimsical at one level, and serious at others.
It's a kind of Alice-in-Wonderland treatment of Information as a substance. 

A coronary bypass operation stopped me for a while, but it is my life's work. 
Anyone who wants to see how the chapter on context is working out, just sing
out and I'll send you a copy.  My inspiration these days, in addition to you
all, is my rehab specialist who has taken an interest in the work and is acting
as my muse, egging me onward.  I am recovering nicely.

I will show your remarks to her and report back...
