Why has the topic of common sense provoked such
a "loud" response with email that shouts.
Is it not a point for discussion?

Knowledge Management has been around for a long
time albeit hiding under other titles.
It was especially prevalent in the large law firms
as information was leveraged.

It was organised by people called librarians (a
rather unfashionable term) in conjunction with
lawyers.

There was no huge body of theory about how it was
done It was arranged so that the lawyers and the
info came together as soon as possible.

Commonsense and the availablity of software like
Topic from Verity made it possible.

Can we not contribute what we know without being
categorised by a lack of a PhD or similar?
