Brandon:
Bataille said the same thing about the original Surrealists, but that didn't
make them any less surreal.

that this place really is the Usenet home of stale, traditional,
conformist, psuedo-intellectual, know-it-all unsurreal surrealists
who have created a religion out of surrealism. This really is
the Usenet Church of Fundamentalist Surrealism, the place where
surrealism is now a shrine for conformist believers to worship
in.
BWHAHAHAHA!

To the person calling themself "Clark Kent"
If that's all you can get out of this place than so be it,
It is true that this is the home of several individuals to whom
Traditional Surrealism is a very serious thing, and some of them even
take it to the point of worship.
There are also "idiots" who post here and if not to amuse then waste
peoples time.
There are those who even defy description.
The point is , in my humble opinion, All who choose to post here are
welcome, and what ever it is they have to add to our group regardless of
perceived value, has a place here and belongs here.
As to it's relevance to surrealism is not the right of any one or two
people to decide that. If they do then they should create their own
group and moderate it.
This is one of the few places left on usenet where I can say any fucking
thing I want to, and I feel it is a precious thing to have
I admire surrealism but don't label myself as a surrealist
I choose to post all manner of things here. I try to make them revelant
to art or surrealism if I can but most of all try to make them
stimulating or at least interesting to the people who read the posts
here.
I invite you to try posting other subject matter as well as simple
criticism of the group as a whole . If you can't be creative enough to
do that then at least try to make your criticism a little more detailed
and specific so as to stimulate honest debate and discourse.
I look forward to you future posts. I have the use of one eye and a can
type this with one finger, so maybe I can answer you when you write.

Hi Don,
Just started reading posts here recently. Am a painter who admires
Surrealism, thought I was "neo-expressionist", reviewed as "surrealist" and
was delighted to find this group! Your post caught my interest because,
while I am looking with 2 eyes, I am typing w/one finger (burned my left
hand very badly last week). Heal quickly and I will be reading more than
posting for a while. Looks like a good group, overall.

not that i want to prolong your flattening presence or provoke another witty
"BWHAHAHAHA!", but before you call someone else a "stale, traditional,
conformist" i think you need to explain your relationship to "scouting".
