I admire their constancy. And I think that they are aesthetically interesting because of their social aesthetics. This is perilously close to them being interesting because of their politics, but I plead irony in their defence. I also believe that this is not in any way above criticism given how the world has changed in the last four decades. - Rob. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
