On purpose

[Mark Knowles]

I have a list of possible creators and reasons for existence of the VMS, but my favorite one is still my first impression... that this is a book of knowledge (an abridged version) and that it might never have been finished.

I have a list, though in truth it really contains only one entry. As mentioned determining "reasons" why people do things can be rather difficult. I certainly think "intellectual curiousity" was a much more significant factor than any financial motivations.
