*** Your interpretation is paranoid. As you're the one mentioning the
Web and Linked Data, are you not the one who is abusing my genuine
remembrance to serve your own agenda?

In addition to "explaining" what Ted Nelson understands as "packaging
vs. technology" into a simplistic form, pushing meaning and intention
into my words that were never there, you're suggesting that you know
better what Aaron Swartz
would-have-thought-if-he-was-still-alive-one-year-later! Really, you
could have abstained from throwing such an abject comment, especially
sweetened from the attack you sent privately, accusing me of "tacit
attack on the Web" and telling me what to do or what not to do.

Stop projecting onto others your frustrations, Melvin. If you keep
seeing me as anti-Web, it's your problem, not mine. That does not
serve anything, and certainly not to respect anyone's memory.
