That's exactly the point I wanted to make. If *I* were writing for profit, by all means, there is nothing that would be sacred - even if I held it personally revere - the idea would be to write to sell myself. If I wrote something completely outlandish and foolish, yet sold the story or article, then my job has been done. If, for whatever reason, I pissed off half the world in writing something, by all means, popularity is popularity - it wouldn't matter if it was good popularity or bad popularity - people would read it no matter what. -- Sat Jun 21 09:35:00 EST 2003 09:35:00 up 7 days, 16:49, 3 users, load average: 0.14, 0.05, 0.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.
