   Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the point of Mr. Taylor's
article was that it would be nice to see a bit of discussion about what
is happening in Canadian AI (seeing as that's what the name of this newsgroup
seems to be about).  Admittedly, the SDI question is interesting, etc., but
it isn't really discussion about Canadian AI - it is more politics than
anything else.  
   I would like to second Mr. Taylor's plea for some discussion of AI on this
net, and not just debate about SDI (after all, this isn't net.SDI or can.SDI).
How about it?
