Sometimes I'm so conflicted. I frequently see a post on other lists - like this one, trolled in today's elearningpost. On the one hand, I don't want to leave it out of my list, because it is getting wide currency. On the other hand, it simply recycles material carried weeks or even months ago on OLDaily - in this case, the article is a restatement of the RealCommunities White Paper, Twelve Principles of Civilization (retitled for a new audience) - a white paper which is in turn a (trademarked) recycling of previous work, including some work I presented in Australia (or at least, derived from similar sources). Getting credit for ideas and publication in today's web world seems more like a matter of marketing than of thinking - perhaps, though, it was ever thus.
