excellent article by Ted, i think! :) he is quite passionate about discovering the truth and understanding what things mean. to my mind, if i want to not ramble but put it precisely, the conclusion is - if cooperation is the skin, collaboration is the heart and the mind. coordination is the enablement of either of the two! :)
