or, the ray johnson virus:   yeah, yeah, so i broke down and rented 
the ray johnson movie: "How To Draw A Bunny" (not an easy task from 
the backwaters of rural canuckistan i'll tell ya) ... recognized lots 
of bill wilson photograghs (or were they rain rien nevermind's?) ... 
what a beautiful man! (even in the later videos: what year were they 
made?) almost expected bill himself to come on: that would have been 
a thrill!   alas, he remained behind the scenes...  did they downplay 
ray's mail-art activities?   and did i see a "copyleft" image?  lots 
of add to and return but not so many add to and pass?  xerographic 
multiples!  hmmm, well, the big question is: will bill wilson ever 
forgive me?  would he rather i left for good?
