Re: (,) PostSecret book-Tamara
Maybe it's just sour grapes on my part, not having thought of it, but the whole thing leaves a rather nasty taste in the mouth when you consider he is obviously making a lot of money from his book and the syndication of the POst Secret idea to many magazines? ( I know of one in the U.K) and the anonymity of the participants allows him to claim all the credit.This is not really in the spirit of the mail art network as I understand it.

Re: (,) PostSecret book-Tamara
well, whomever isn't framing themselves as a mail-artist. PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. or is mail art simply based on the technology of the post office? if that's the case i sometimes get mail-art novels from half.com On 9/1/06, LaVona Sherarts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes Michael, you are so right but i guess we have to face the changes.

Michael Yeah, Michael, I felt a little bit that way also. But I hadn't looked at the book very carefully. I dunno that he is necessarily making a lot of money off the book; if it hasn't made a bestsellers list it doesn't necessarily make that much money. He might be able to pay the rent with it for a while, but I doubt he is getting rich.
