Now, David, we're not going to go head first back into the Zanderian
Heresy debate again, are we?
There is not total commitment to the idea that there /can/ be `memes
in transit' or `memes offline-stored.' See `conduit theory' in the ML
archives.
(To sum for those that missed it the first time, myself and a handful
of acolytes believe that memes can /only/ exist within the mind,
cannot be translated or encoded in any way; what you transmit and
encode are the /products/ of memes, behaviours and patterns of change
in the environment.)
