Precisely my thinking. Holier-than-though.<br><br>Randall, I am a bit bummed by your assumptions that we are all neandrathals, and don't 'grasp' art. Wuite the contrary, indeed, as I think Paul, Luci, Digby and myself realize. I don't want to justify, but I will.<br><br>1) I consider coding an art form. There is an elegance and purity that can be created that allows for this. Very similar to art. 2 people can draw a picture of me, but one could be art and the other could be crap.<br>2) I am a photographer, and quite good, as is my gf, though she is significantly better. So, do not suppose that I know nothing of what goes into the process, or that I should take some class, or, for that matter, that I have not already.<br>3) Whilst you are fighting, you went ahead and agreed with paul and I. Andy Warhol EMBODIES what we are talking about. THAT'S WHAT WE MEAN! He is a wanker, but people thought he was SOOOO COOL, that he got the artist acclaim. I happen to put Baz's R&J in that category...now on that we can disagree, but still be on equal footing. eh?<br>4) Paul: Steven Hawking is not a complete hack...his black hole theories are impresive, but he does get an awful lot of attention considering that his contemporaries are smahish quarks into each other and untangling string theory. He might be a tad overrated.
