That's pretty much the way I feel as well. I love graphics too. I believe
that they could be useful. I am sure that the technology that I am working
on will find applications, even if it proves too unwieldy for collaborative
forums. However, I can't give up on this last one without some
experimentation, and in order to experiment I need to build the
technology. The results of diagramming a discussion are difficult, if not
impossible to imagine. Also, it is even harder to imagine how people will
adapt to using a forum that allows visual discussions. Thus the technology
must be built. Will "they" then come? I hope so.
