---Roger is right ofcourse- no instant whiz-bangs but a slow evolving appreciation of peoples talents and abilities. I'm a newcomer to Fluxlist and was very happy to become a member as it seemed a place where ideas and notions could be shared in an easy-going simple way, with no thick Fluxusopedia to consult every five minutes to find out if you've transgressed the unwritten law or whatever. I do hope this does not become a slanging match for different factions within the group as i would hate to see it disintegrate so soon after i joined! By the way, Allen Thanks for the Waygood gallery link. I shall send them something. All the best, michael at A.1.Waste
