An art form becomes more popular -> more people start to do it. More people do something -> more duffers are doing it. Maybe I'm just perverse, but I like things that are obscure and challenging. In my own work I tend to stop doing something as soon as it becomes too familiar. If looping gets too popular I'll probably stop doing it out of boredom. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
