The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of
nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
 - Antoine De Saint-Exupery

You're relatively new to this least, Alex, and do you think you've had time
to assess well the efforts of the work you've seen in that short time? If
so, you are far ahead of me in that regard. I don't claim to be particularly
insightful or speedy, though. There are some of these tangents here which
continue and will continue with or without your approval. Clinging to the
dead (forms), perhaps a fine academic exercise, will only keep you where you
are, which is not a terrible fate. It's safe, at least. A pleasant memory,
and I'm all for memories, no matter how we may choose to change them over
time to suit our own interests.

One thing that has inspired me is the sheer amount and diversity of work
some produce on a daily basis, machine-generated or otherwise. For me, it's
informative and inspiring, as well as challenging. I don't pretend to
understand everyone's individual intentions (I have my own! *winks*), but I
try to contribute in a positive way. And on occasion, I have both failed and
succeeded, which pleases me, but perhaps doesn't do more than that. I'm a
poor judge.

Oof! I'm generally not so expla-po as I consider myself weak at it and
usually avoid it altogether, but I'm trying to get over my vulnerability.
Everything's a personal victory. Looking forward to reading your greater
additions and evolutions...
