Is not participating in a mail art show a kind of censorship? And isn't a curator excercising their likes and dislikes by selecting from what they receive? If the answer to the first is yes then I'm a censor. The thing to do would be to do them all. Then you could say you're not censoring at all and that's what you need to do if it bothers you so much to see someone excercise their likes and dislikes. But if you ask me, I'm on the mail artists' side not the show organizers. IMHO show organizers need to understand what they're doing and what they're asking people to do before they send out a call. And besides who has time to do them all anyways...
