Well Dave,
There are some of us whose criteria for good and bad are worded in
commercial terms.
Werner Erheard talked about people buying into an idea, and he didn't mean
with money.
But, on the other spectrum, yeah. What's wrong with commercial criteria
entering into this subscription list?
I think offering stuff for sale might be 'over the edge,' but not
discussions about the meaningful nature of our work as 'saleable or
amature.'
