Another tiny coda:

At 00:17 24.02.1998 -0300, Rachid asked:

>And the researcher, isn't him a visitor?

Thus I prefer to call the total of people who actively benefit from museums
'users'. They are who museums are there for, also if they do not physically
visit a museum, only log into a museum's database, read its guide book or
even visit it in a future of which we do not have an idea what it will look
like.

I enjoy very much how the list revolves round this vital question.
And special thanks to Reid and Neil for their kind as well as critical
contributions.
