Abstract
It has been some time now since we have had our Philosopher's Corner feature in place at The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems, and we have seen some truly magnificent work appear in these pages in that time. I am gilding the lily in saying so, to be sure, but as an Editor-in-Chief, I have a certain pride of ownership in regard to it. I don't want to claim that The Philosopher's Corner was all my idea; we are a team here in the Editorial office, and we do things as a team and by consensus.
Even so, I have a great deal of enthusiasm for the feature and take it upon myself to shamelessly promote it at every turn and in every quarter. Just as I am now.
