Some responses in one mail, so I don't personally clutter up the list!
===========================================
In response to Steev Hise:

>even have an aesthetic vision.
Yes. My point, related much more clearly and positively.
>So, yup, we all agree. yay.
Haw.

NO.
I'd like to think that each project generated on these lists does one up
on the last. I see Droplift as #3 in a series, starting with "The Act of
Snuggling" and "Red Hand Dave!" So change the rules and see how far we
get.

And more Jay Kennedy:

To me, this would idicate a project that cannot stand on its own merit.
Like being called "Droplift 2," which you aren't doing, so its moot, and
we've really all agreed all along.

Odd. It may because I made an effort not to show any endorsement in any
way, for fear I might put a spin on what happened next.

Checking... did I say that? I need the reference...
Here it is...
Jay:
>>Or
>>does the
>>fact that this is being droplifted bother you?
Tim:
>None of it bothers me. I am planning on droplifting the CD whether or not
>you endorse the practice.
Yeah, none of it bothers me. Which is to say that I haven't had a single
problem with any of this project because it's not my project! I'm
serious when I say you should call it whatever the hell you want, and I
guess Steev and I are agreeing that YOU should take this curatorial role,
as it is YOUR project!
Although, I must be careful not to put words in Steev's mouth. I believe
Steev went as far as to suggest that SOMEONE needs to be that tastemaker,
and I'm assuming that someone is you for your project.
>If none of it did, we wouldn't
>be having this discussion, unless you and I have totally different opinions
>of what bother means, like we seem to differ on what "coattails" are.
No, but my comment was directed at what bothered me. I am bothered by
being miscast as a detractor from the project merely because I have
finally opened my mouth on a few key issues for discussion.
>Clearly you have a disagreement in
>my approach, and I wanted to know what that was.
None whatsoever. I had started this argument by trying to counter
Steev's objections to the Droplift Project. I had mentioned your name to
suggest that your attitude, insofar as I could read it, was that you were
not naive enough to think that Droplifting could change teh world, but
that it was pretty effective in a certain way. I was expressing that if
you were to designa project that too closely resembled the last one, or
became a "sequel," that this would probably be a mistake in my book.
But what do I know? That's what I'm getting at. I'm no guru.

Welcome to the process! (insert proper emoticon here)
>I don't recall ever arguing about what to call it in this forum.
You're right, my mistake, it was the other forum!
Is this boring everyone else, or are we interesting enough?
