I believe this list has ban on attachments. As for web sites, I rarely look since I find the content is often more out of context than a dialogue on list. An attachment is to me, a footnote which may or may not be opened. I often do not open it if the person has convinced me that they are doctrinaire or predictable in their answers. I make a distinction between repetition and predictable because repetition can be quite surprising and interesting as the minimal soho composers like Reich and Glass have shown. I also find that web sites often take so much energy that others don't converse much about their work. I don't even give out my web site since I think it is doctrinaire and is just plain unsuccessful. It just sits there like a lump with a couple of innocuous graphics .
