this is so simple it's disgusting. want to discuss the aesthetic
side of photo on rec.arts.fine ? do it. the subject is suitable
so we are not "forbidden". heck we could do it on rec.food if
they didn't object. it's kind of a parallel universe approach ?
why move the discuassion off of rec.photo when all previous
thoughts along this line were decried as divisive ?

here's why:

rec.photo is cluttered, arts.fine will be easier
for directory cruising.

we "artistes" might find something useful if we
bother to look between the jargon posts.

art photo never gets off the block at rec.photo

*some* of the art.fine crowd may be good contributors
to *our* thread in *their* group and they ain'ta gonna
find us here on the "re: prints from slides ?" group.

major reason -
i'm going over there and DO IT, and you can come see
or i'll just deal with whoever deals with me when i'm
there. i gots papers, y'know, credenchills: BFA, tufts '74,
and a grad course in art librarianship, and i have no fear
of phd's. who's with me ? let's go then.

Is there anything terribly wrong with cross-posting to both
groups when the subject is appropriate?

Alas, our system doesn't receive rec.arts.fine, and I bet a lot
of others don't either.

I vigorously agree. Please do it.

[ reasons deleted ]

Here's why not:

o Yet another group to wade through

o Coming soon: innappropriate cross-posts as content changes w/o subject
changing

o I'm interested in the aesthetics of photography, but I don't lump that in
with "Fine Art". My photography certainly doesn't fit in the morass that
is. Anyway, content != aesthetics.

THE ABOVE WHY NOT LIST IS THE REASON FOR LEAVING. GOOD BYE.
KEEP THOSE CARDS AND LETTERS. HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME.
THANK GOD YOUR NOT HERE. DON'T FORGET THE PATCH KIT FOR
YOUR WADERS. the move of aesthetics to another group is
NOT a discussion thread. it's a FACT, but you are welcome
to remain at wreck.photo and discuss all you want. flame
if you wish. we're gone gone gone with the cool breeze.
