Nemo open letters № 4.9

      Hello dear Nemo!


   It's been a lot of time with my
previous letter. (It was written
in January.) But not smart enough, that such
pause in my correspondence with you / Vyacheslav,
due to the fact that I was in despair,
scored Spectrum, - not at all. But rather
even quite the contrary ... If you remember, then
my previous letter I graduated from the wish to revive a joint 
effort, Spectrum'a this year. Strictly speaking, all the time, 
anyway, in my local activities, more or less

successfully, has been linked to this global
task. And looking ahead to say that in
I am currently a hundred times more optimistic about the future 
Spectrum'a, than a year ago. And this in no small degree

contributed to your detailed answers
my letters. Actually, all these months I
You are constantly going to write, but
while all sorts of different circumstances (for some issues and 
problems resolved themselves, but there were new, etc.) set 
aside the letter on the back burner. During this time, I have 
accumulated quite a lot like concrete ideas and suggestions, so 
a more detached, theoretical thinking. 

However, "everything in order.

 First, about my-old repeat the year, ordering the game, "FT-2" 
... After reading your response (from 01.26.2000) to my previous

letter in which you are offered a variety of
options to resolve this situation, I
decided all the same to leave your order in force, since the 
trust to B. Mednonogovu then I have not yet been exhausted. But 
Now, about a month ago, I contacted Medvoyaogovym via email to

learn more about how to move this
project. And received from him a short answer,
that ou busy on their core work, and
therefore has little free time. "
No "-ob-. #. Answer on the timing yield
"CHV2" (and that coming out this game at all) to me by the 
veto, to achieve and failed. Also, I had little hope of a way 
out "ZF # 9" (which you have promised as compensation for the 
delay in the order). But may you have lots of information about 
the status of "FT-2" and "ZF"? If you find that in the 
foreseeable future prospects of these projects not

then I do still have to re-register
your order. For example - on your e-books. But in general, as 
promoted Project e-books? I would like to know what is already 
out, so what would they order.


 Anticipating the next section of my letter,
quote paraphrased a fragment of one
anecdote:

Pessimist: Selling Spectrum impossible
- All sitting on the PC ... Optimist: Huge
opportunities and a complete absence of competitors!

In recent years, according to my personal observations, the 
people once again there is interest to Spectaim'y (pah-pah-pah 
so as not to jinx). Moreover, most of these people previously 
did not have anything to do with computers. And their interest 
in Basically, not specifically linked with Spectnim'om, and 
with computers in general. But the important role played by the 
simplicity and cost Use Spectnmi'om. (Although, I must

say that if no effort
for further development hard'a, then
its present form, Spectrum soon
become uncompetitive either on the first or the second 
indicator. For all other entries (quality and reliability

Hardware, software development, technical and
information support, etc.) s already
long ago gave up not only PC, -. and some game consoles. But 
this lag not fatal, and some joint

efforts the situation can be remedied.) There are
truth and those who once prodat its
then a 48-second tape machine, then switched to PC, and now 
sits in nostavgvruya emulator for the old days. And was 
surprised to learn that for these years, real-Speccy n 'only 
not disappeared, but even slowly, but growing,

show for a desire to purchase
Modern Spectrum. But people in this category, of course, very 
much. Naturally, the bulk of potential buyers Spectrum'ov, 
would have to be those who are currently spektrumistami, and 
sales of peripherals I programming that is so, but for various 
well-known reasons "as soon as they are unlikely

will buy new computers in the collection, most still do not see 
any real sense the replacement of the computer. In general, from

my communication and my observations I have made
one important conclusion - those who still
have not wanted to or not able to get away from the platform 
Spectrum, since it does not go away (!) all who wanted and 
could not leave - had already left, and Currently, the outflow 
of users virtually stopped. (This statement is less 
primennteyayao to those who are engaged in software development 
- they tend to sit on two platforms: PC and Spectrum,

or Amiga and Spectrum.) So, if before
So far the main campaign in Spectrum media (and "Open Letters" 
in particular) was conducted in order to keep users on

platform, there are currently more
we should start an advertising campaign to attract new users to 
the platform. And the focus should be on people who have never 
had a computer at home.  Since then, on the basis of all 
written above, I have decided that *.,,%` f (%) at Spectrom'e, 
a reasonable approach, it is possible try to do. Besides, now 
we have in Glazov, except me No one is eager to promote the 
Speccy, but I do not let a large, unmet need in there. That is 
why I to know under what conditions you are working

with dealers: the volume and regularity of procurement, size, 
discounts, information provision, issues of maintenance and 
etc. Will promote the Spectrum together!


But move on to things more optimistic, and
precisely to all the expected (hopefully) Festival Chaos 
Constructions - 2000 (CC'OOO)! Unless there is any

force majeure, that is
strong likelihood that this time
it will be attended by representatives of Glazov in the face of 
our "Galaxy Plus, and perhaps in Izhevsk in the face

the famous "Power of Sound" (at the moment
this writing izhevchane not yet made a final decision about the 
trip). So to speak - National Team spektrumistov Udmurtia! True 
none of we had in St. Petersburg was not, but I think that

not get lost - the main thing to get! And then
now in the country, in connection with a period of general 
holidays / vacations, some strange crisis, with train tickets, 
and flights, alas, but we still can not afford.


   And since we are talking about CC'OOO, we would like to make 
this event useful not only for those who will be on it be 
present, but for the whole community spektrumistov as a whole. 
Why in the CC does not hold the conference (or any

whether it is in this spirit) with the participation of 
developers and producers of software and hardware, distributors 
and other interested persons. And at these conferences to take

a. # + a. "- k% solutions of common konnepshi
standards, and develop strategy for the development platform 
for the future and deal with other pressing issues. Such 
conferences have been would be more constructive and would 
provide a greater positive effect for the platform, than any 
individual performances and statements in various newspapers, 
magazines and networks. (Besides, at present, every single 
Spectrum Media has a very limited audience.)

After all, as is done throughout the civilized world! More or 
less unified position contributes to the successful development 
of any cases take at least the same platform PC,

because there are regularly held conference
to develop some standards. That is why the PC and thriving, and 
we, at Spectrum'e, all in one well-known

Krylov's fables ... I certainly understand that,
This initiative logical to turn to
organizataram Chaos Constructions, that
actually I've done before, to address these proposals by e-mail 
the chief organizer of the SS - Vsevolod Potapov (Random), but 
he has not made any comments about it. And far from it 
-Australia, and you're all the same directly in St. Petersburg, 
besides using a certain prestige in the environment 
spektrumistov and can support the conduct of such conferences. 
In the extreme If fail to agree with

organizers, they can be held and
outside the framework of the Festival - the main thing that 
people somehow have still to be assembled in St. Petersburg. 
Now, more concrete proposals. Currently, the Spectrom'e There 
are two main interconnected global challenges, it is - the 
collapse of the market software and the lack of

Single, covering the maximum number of users of information 
publication. Of solutions to these problems' "(a (b further 
development of the platform, and even more so - is there at 
all, some or the future of Spectrum'a. And I think that

alone, alone, no "h
nyue existing structures Speetnim'e
address these issues are not able to. (Unfortunately, 
"Inforkoma" and "FormaK" but no longer.) Therefore, I propose 
to discuss, at least two main topics: market recovery software

by creating a central dystribyotorskogo center (like the 
aforementioned "Inforkoma"), and publication of Spectrum 
periodicals zhuraala. Maybe u was never any doubt relevance of 
these topics. 

 On this for now. Although I initially intended, in this 
letter, yet podiskutirovat with you about some technical 
aspects of the development platform. (More or less detail, I 
read all the materials placed in the "Open Letters", as well as

Other Your articles. What I poliostyu
agree with you, what is it - in part, but
some of your statements I have opinions
lead me in utter bewilderment (although I
and guess from what considerations you
comes, is convinced he is right broad
public). Yet I, too, is not the first year of doing 
Spectnim'om, and for these years I have formed a certain 
perception of the platform ...) But since inexorably 
approaching SS'000 time, and I I hope all still going to this 
event in particular (and in St. Petersburg at all), I think 
that we can communicate and personally. So, see you soon! Yours 
- N. (Spring - Summer, 2000)



PS: If any circumstances
allow me to come to Peter, then write
letter. (Grades will find in the envelope:).

              Dear N!


  Commenting on the text:

1. <: The wish to revive a joint effort, Spectrum'a this year>.
I do not think that this kind of problem can
be solved in a year. The fact that slow and
long decay locally - is quickly rising. AND
there and there is one and the same time constant. I do not 
think that this should be seen as sprint. 

2. No ZX-F № 9, no FT-2 has not yet emerged. I
do not have any more specific information about the timing of 
release, rather than you. 

3. According to the project of electronic books so far nothing. 
I'll try to describe the situation. Well then, that money is 
tight - I think not explain necessary, and this is directly 
related to the implementation of any projects. The project is 
the electronic book does not promise quick results. In addition,

is non-core activities. Therefore, he
may be paid only to the unplanned moves - that is, snatches. 
Except Then there are the more specific obligations

- For example, a programmer. Just means
diverted to other areas that still have not themselves pay off.
Ie I consider this project as a background, long-term task, 
which can not hurry - because will, in the first

pores, flushing out. Do not look and
on some super steep at first - that is, have to go through
texts, rather than technical bells and whistles that
obviously very upset lamer. Probably tekstonositel be the same 
as that and <Op.Let.>. There is also a problem as copyright. Of 
course, for Book Market Spectrum'ovskie shell

that the elephant's grain, but it would have
clean hands in this regard. So I do not
I can name timeframes. If you
decide to revoke the order, not in any way
I was not encumbered, - I have enough
funds to repay its obligations. Although I think we can and 
vysat: There Suvorov . 
There Pelevin . <Generation II>. + 
Criticism, General Discussion on networks over Pelevin.


4. <: If you do not make efforts to
further development hard'a:> Understand
development hard'a now Spectrum'e will
act as doping - that is, first
euphoria - apotom depresnyak. Those features that are offered 
at this moment, already excessive. They are poorly utilized and 
hardly used. And therefore there are no criteria for 
interpretation and further development hard'a. You can easily 
get an elementary bullshit. First let will learn what is 
offered, and then you can move on. And anyway, what do you mean 
by development hard'a? After all, the real objective 
limitations, the current platform level, is quite

not a lack of, say, the latest models KAY'ev. The problem 
hard'a - an obsolete technology, which has developed its own 
resource, and gradually loses its reliability. AND this 
technique, in my opinion, 90%. 

   In Spectrum'e no such resource, as in
PC - namely, 2000% of the capitalization - and
and therefore there is no possibility to maintain inefficient, 
non-business solutions - whether they are in the technical, 
organizational or ideological spheres. There is also no 
possibility of pretending that non-business solutions work - it 
requires enormous expenditures on advertising - wishful 
thinking is very a lot of money, because required to instigate 
reality. If your phrase to understand how "` (-b to popular 
stereotype, that specifications define

level of development (Paul transducer, platforms, hardware) - I 
do it in the roots are not I AGREE. In fact, it's the same thing

assume that capacity TECHNICAL HARAKTRISTIK leads to automatic 
CAPACITY OF CONSUMER NAPOLI equation KOMP'A. The reality is 
that the level of Development (user, platform, equipment) are 
now lagging behind the technical characteristics 
characteristics, which are offered in the same KAY'yah. <: On 
all other entries: He has long been conceded:>. It's actually 
not quite true. PC and Spectrum - a Different computers, IT IS 
DIFFERENT PLATFORMS. Mechanical correlation of parameters is 
empty. I'll try to illustrate. First, associative. Comparing 
maximum speed of tanks and helicopters, can be concluded that 
the tank is worse - and the thickness of armor - the opposite 
is better. But this the level of kindergarten.



  Next to the parameters:
 <Quality and reliability>. What concerns
quality, it is difficult to comprehend something, because <On 
the tastes no>. But the relative reliability of the situation 
is quite different. THIS IS VERY concrete concept. There is 
safety in failure and the reliability of a failure. So, for 
example, the reliability of a failure is determined not ONLY 
QUALITY PRODUCTS. There still limitations associated with the 
program reliability and security of supply. In the same MS-tion 
to implement a resource for reliability of a failure is 
possible only if availability of uninterrupted power supply.

Because the reliability of electricity supply
Below, on the reliability of the RS-ka. But for some reason
Spectrum'e to none '$ c, k "% bao,
although the same KAY'i, for example, have a reliable hardware 
sequence, comparable to the reliability of electricity supply 
(ie, it is certainly lower, but only slightly, and only Only at 
times, but not by orders of magnitude). Hence, There are still 
some restrictions, which is more important rather than the 
reliability of electricity supply and reliability of the 
equipment (and they are comparable - both quantity same order). 
So, these constraints are reliability software (which Recently 
written exclusively lamer) and the reliability of (often again 
the same lamer). It's one thing if the PC to is in the bank and 
works for its intended purpose, ie, used in administrative and 
industrial purposes - shakes grandmother. It is clear that the 
failure will cost bank. Therefore, the uninterruptible power 
supply the doctor ordered. So, the bank Spectrum'u do nothing, 
because this is not a machine for business'a (IBM), a machine 
for home use (Home Computer). In home applications, such 
reliability is meaningless - as costs for maintenance and 
operation of the UPS exceeds the costs of the loss of 
information in result of the failure. Reliability - is the same

the best technical parameters Capacity
which is beyond the measure has no meaning. Note that in a 
conversation <Op.Let.> the reliability comes only in connection 
with the OS. To use the operating system reliability of the 
fleet (90% of cars) - is really not enough. 

 <: Software development:> Again, this is the fruit of
comparison with RSkom. In Spectrum'e ON
OTHER. Some kinds of software in Spectrum'e
not only /. b., c, that the absence of
The corresponding problem - that is, there is no need in this 
software. This is primarily With regard to professional tasks / 
applications - as SPECTRUM - a HOME COMPUTER. <Technical and 
informational support> really leaves much to be desired.

Once again, however, it is connected with a PC-com.
There have adopted all at holyavu - ie,
pays a third party (and ultimately
State which, in turn, extracts money from the pockets of its 
citizens). This creates the corresponding stereotypes

that complicate the work in this direction. I think that 
RSshniki weakly currently imagine how many are actually worth 
CONTENTS RSka. And it is immeasurably more than they pay. But 
soon holyava end. In Spectrum'e happened in

early 90's, and on a given moment of the technical and 
information support is exactly in the Meta and the extent to 
disburse users. I wonder what will happen to the PC platform, 
when it will be in a similar situation. <For sale peripherals> 
necessary have the components to the bus, and more generally

sense - with standard joints. 90%
Park does not have them. Therefore, production
periphery is associated with significant
difficulties.

 <: Most do not yet see the real
sense to replace my computer>. A
users do little to actually see it. Me waiting for order, the 
situation is rather interesting. The cost of repairs is 
constantly growing and is not far behind (and can not keep up!) 
against inflation. Repairers in soaps - they are already Do 
not. Machines are worn out, exhausted their resources. And it 
will make progress - and on the rise. What is not slow ska 
zatsya as on price and on the timing and quality of repair. It 
is an objective process. 

<: The main campaign in Spectrum Media
(And <Op.Let.> including) was conducted in order to keep users 
on the platform, there are currently more than we should start 
an advertising company in order to attract new users to the 
platform: never before had a computer at home>. Afford some 
considerations. 

1. Spectrum media can perform
advertising functions only within the platform, as they have no 
exit to the outside world (I-net is not external, and PC 
platforms, and where users are lost, and not

acquired melt).

2. Implementing external to
platform advertising requires about
order of magnitude more resources (rather than internal). In 
the presence of those stereotypes that There are a Spectrum'e - 
namely, for support and software no need to pay - Money could 
not be returned. Ie it will be an act of charity, as  
the price of advertising in a single HARD'a NOT FOR SALE. 

3. We must understand that new users
actual users automatically
Nor are - we must spend money, time and effort to their
teach - that is, create some sort of idea of ​​what they are 
dealing with, it is is why this is necessary, etc. Necessary

literature and some sort of environment where they
could get a resp. support. Ie
very high risk (for Outdoor advertising)
otovarit machines random people they do not need (which will 
not be able to use them. 

4. Spectrum is still not a finished product, because difficult 
to connect to the TV. Therefore, selling Spectrum traditional 
methods is difficult - if at all possible. No standard

 junction in TV. Ideal in this respect
Scurt, - but it is not all TV.

5. The idea that new users
bring with them significant money,
demand and any resources is untenable. On the contrary, Section 
3 (see above) outweigh " their contribution. And certainly do 
not want to think E. that, under the attraction of new users 
means a regular pyramid construction (new users pay the money 
and contain old users - "grandfathers"). OL OFESSIONALAM PAY TO 
ALL. Otherwise, just do not will be - regardless of whether 
there will be new users or not, there would be some work on 
attracting new users or not.


6. What do you think you can attract new
users to the platform? Other options, rather than 
"prokubrivanie brain - or, as you rightly pointed out, 
"promotion" simple and can not be. New user

Tel means a person who buys a new PC. It is obvious that there 
can be my gain. But, basically, in my

Responsibilities include only the sale of computer + technical 
- only! - K. Nsultatsii + software warranty / maintenance paid 
hard'a. In fact, what happens otherwise - I have to study 
support and maintenance in a broader sense. Ie perform 
`operates through a Global for which hard-company simply does 
not fit, - Ie efficiency of money is low.

This is the same as plowing the garden at
tank. Should be independent of education (structures k) firms 
engaged in support (soprovozhdeniem. So these

No structures. Software companies do not. Network
engaged porazitirovaniem, destroying
existing structures. Members believe
a "n rogrammistami and money do not pay.
Moreover, they are sure that you only need to pay for hard, - 
everything else should be nothing. Therefore, there is no 
corresponding structures. Ie reason users' studios - but not 
me. But the problems continued into the platform - and how 
Consequently, I have. That's what I am, for example, new users 
can be interested in. in the acquisition of KAY-1024 Ishnoy? 
Technically it is - but not more than 90% of bus fleet has not, 
therefore, the production of periphery n `akticheski 
impossible. The fact that you can go to rukosuystve - It is 
folly lamer. And what sense is bus, if not the periphery. So 
what's the problem? In me - or those 90% of the lamer, who are 
waiting peref% peripheral devices, contact - and sidyuchi on 
their wheelbarrows, who had never wait for? Turbo mode? 
Technically, he Again, there is, but where is the program? And 
the reason is again the same - 90% of companies in which both 
3.5 MHz works with Greek% Ham half, - plus non-copyright, 
aggravated networks. Winchester? Technically, he there, but 
where soft? And, more importantly, where it include? In the 
shed, which today or tomorrow, and the collapse itself (tsya? 
Therefore, the mainstream - replacing the existing

fleet. In so far as possible
NOT attract new users and those
who once already have dealt with SPECTRUM'om. Postolkuposkolku 
in the sense that that the ten machines replaced a new one

users of such a plan. It is more reasonable. And then, why did 
you decide that new users do not have? They are. If It was not 
the case, then the number of users is rapidly decreased to - or 
platform would be "grew old" - that too is not so . Another 
thing is that this is a teenager who for years 16-18. Spectrum 
also operates as a thoroughfare. First person gets on Soectrum, 
then into the net and then - for PC-to. And all this holyavu. 
Therefore, the basic direction - keeping users on the platform. 
And not through advocacy, - How do you write to - and making 
appropriate applications for companies 2225-year-olds. Those 
zheobolochki Terminated  footnotes would have contributed to 
this. If the upper age limit increased by only Year, and it 
already gives rise to the platform 15-20% because 90% of users 
- is the age of 17-23 years. And nobody was going to RSYA 
FORCED TO KEEP THEM - not like - Good riddance. Let will find 
happiness in RS-kyo. Any negotiations for the sale of

my machines I think, still a personal conversation - and if not 
met in person, at least to the phone. For the simple reason 
that there is no standard contract - yes, probably, and E-E may 
exist. The only thing I can say is that the dealer - Is 
primarily REGULAR sale. If you can afford to, then and

conversation makes sense. It is also obvious, Thu
. You must have (or have included) into a kind of structure, 
not necessarily formal or hierarchical, and have

it a certain weight. Otherwise it is impossible to establish a 
regular sale. * That also noted that all the above with respect 
to new users have to you only tangentially related. Another 
thing is that you are 'll feel like my policy on the market,

as my followers + Duration of Action. You
can sell new computers
users - if you think this is possible and justified. Everything 
depends on the situation, which is to misuse you. "... Hold 
Conference ..." - it's a good idea. Another thing, as it

implement in practice. Personally, for myself, I
I see this as follows: near exposed machinery (KAY'ev) will 
raspisanitse, on

 which will be indicated by the time I
I will attend. If someone has
any questions - please. What
As for some more refined
orgmeropriyaty (conferences) then-eponyatno: Who will organize? 
on any Principles? Who will be there to engage in discussion? 
What is there to discuss? These seemingly elementary questions, 
determine that the results obtained ath. A rally can happen - 
with zero benefit. Here's an example of what you speak at this 
conference? Your actual weight is unknown to me (judging by the 
letter, Do you regularly rinse the brains in the networks -

but is rather a disadvantage than advantage), so that you can 
think of no more than a user. Real work experience and some 
practical results from a BAE nevernyaka there be

can not - and therefore your views
may have a weight at the level of "take note" - no more. As for 
the dealer's work - it's still wishful thinking - that of the 
floor. First comes out - is unknown. This is confirmed by 
further Text of letter: "... a concerted decision on the 
concept of uniform standards ...". In order to take concerted

solutions, you must have either the authority
(If this is a hierarchical system, which
Spectrum is not), or weight - otherwise
"Negotiated solution" would be no more
than hot air. And the time will be
wasted. Even on the basis of Western experience can be said 
that none of technical solution adopted in this way 
(democratically, collectively, to Conference) will NOT be 
viable. All the standards are. Bscheprinyatymi and

working at the moment - were de facto, ie, first as 
Intercompany. And already then, when the internal standards 
proves to be viable and tselesoobraznos Tb, it becomes 
accepted. After that it gets final appearance in the form of 
technical standard with full its regulation

(Ie de jure - on paper). On the contrary there is only "Russia 
- hence the problem. The law (and the technical standard - it 
in fact, the law) can not be made with to somehow change the 
situation - he will be not viable, and will be cut off - Ile 
(in other words, do not will be executed. Thus it turns out 
lawlessness. The law always fulfills Recognizing the role, ie 
made de facto, - on the basis of the situation. And it gives 
the first situation is the status of de jure. This is also a 
chimera - that can now well together and there is something 
FINALLY solve. Do not be surprised if it is cultivated in the 
networks. People who are present there, never dealt with the 
real deal - and because the relevant bugs. Conferences can 
play, and play only a coordinating, advisory role, - No more. 
Specific decisions on the conference x NOT ACCEPTED, they are 
taken people who attend these conferences (or might not), 
outside These conferences - but also having weight, impact.


"... The whole civilized world!" - No
be confused entourage and "myth" of real
activities - see above.

"Conference on the ... standards." Please note that the word 
GENERATION has some great sense of "Address", "to take 
concerted solutions, etc. - Be attentive s to the language.


"Common position" is good when there is
a clear goal. By the way, if there is a clear
goal, then the most appropriate structure -
hierarchical. Upon reaching the goals she samoraspuskaetsya. 
You can decree Th CLEARLY goal Spectrum'a? For example, I can 
not. So there must be a certain backlash,

gap, the sector of search. Again, this is not
should be interpreted as a call to anarchy,
and every kind of obstruction having aya standards.

"... The problem: ... the collapse of the software market ..." 
In my opinion the problem is the failure of copyright rights. 
And as the collapse of the software market - is a consequence. 
And, incidentally, not the least role in this $ Barely play 
online. 

"... By creating a central distribution center." This is a 
utopia. Explain why. Such a structure can not itself

pay back, because problem not a lack of
SOFT (although even there it is) - and
NON-COMPLIANCE copyright (or otherwise
of theft). Its the same fate,
that "Inforkom", "Formak", "Logros and
etc. I understand your point. Needed resource, which could at x
olyavu use the network - because no matter how
their databases (the software, customers
programmers) nor the mechanisms for getting money from 
customers in the networks do not. Ie Let a good uncle to build 
day both - and we'll pass them later. In practice

exactly what happens. Indistinguishable
customer korporirovannogo in the network (and to sell him 
software must be N times more expensive than where N - number 
of users on the network) from isolated stimulated the user 
(unit price sales). Otherwise, it will be a mechanism of 
exploitation of isolated networks users. There are also more 
general considerations. "CENTRAL Distributorship Center "is 
dangerous because it is unique. The reliability of such a 
structural organization very small. One wrong strategic

resheE-s, - and the consequences are fatal to the entire 
structure (in this If the platform). This type of structure

"Star" - hit the center, and all flies in the trash. This is a 
degenerate tree (Wood / onimaetsya in the topological sense), 
ie again an element of hierarchical structure. By the way, the 
way it happened after the collapse of the "Inforkoma", 
"Formaka" and in part, "Logrosa. Members were from. Mulated - 
as between themselves and from professionals. Network, in part 
(not everywhere!), restored the connection between users, 
combining them into a kind of conglomerates, but there is NO 
PROFESSIONALS, - T hese structures flawed initially. Not

be surprised if over time the number of
users will fall so that the formation of conglomerates of this 
type of network (s) proved impossible - and then again

will observe the copyrights (via
mechanism of trafficking by mail) - that is, size of the 
platform will come into line with the moral and ethical
