For those interested in a definition of IA:

User, context, content. Thing about what we tend to do is that it's pretty
general, and can ripple out in all sorts of directions, whether that's AI,
KM, speech recognition or something else. 

But I've already said that this conversation bores me. It's more
interesting to investigate, discuss and develop the directions themselves.
