- Thomas Edwards comments on my database idea: "This is another good argument
- for getting every researcher in the US, and possibly the world, on the net."
-
- This would help, but as Dieter can tell you, somebody has to do a lot of hard
- work to organize the data. Also, Japanese researchers are very unlikely to get
- on a net, since they do not generally speak English fluently, and they do not
- have time. Most of their papers and meetings are in Japanese (obviously!).
- Finally, the big corporate people, who have the best results both here and in
- Japan, would never, ever, contribute a word. They might respond to a formal
- survey. OTOH, I am no Fritz Will, so they would probably ignore me.
