Hi All,
Well, we are hearing a little griping from the "peanut gallery" (back rows of the audience) about the old art thread. Some of this is probably because they can "sniff" the growth of a never ending heated thread ;-). This debate hs been both informative and pretty well mannered so far, but it is taking up a bit of space, so I think we should let it rest for a while. I doubt we can avoid this subject, but we can keept the traffic about it minimized until we have digested all the ideas so far ;-).
I actually like this thread a lot, but we should always be aware of the advantage of time, patience, thought and, of course, efficient traffic! Especially when it deals with an issue as individual and personal as the definition of art. A measured rather than passionate response is usually a product of time. It will also likely elicit a measured rather than passionate response. I think if we slow it down a bit we can keep the debate relatively civil and not have it dominate or traffic for the next month. Thanks all and carry on,
