- The trouble with "info" is that it doesn't separate
- anything. News is info. How we lead our lives is info.
- Political philosophy and activism are info. Certainly, it's
- possible for a charter or FAQ to define what the term means
- sufficiently to guide those who are looking for guidance
- about here to post. But then, most people don't read a
- charter or a FAQ; they use their intuition, which doesn't
- get much guidance from a word like "info."
