Jeepers, i do have to get some actual work done today...but i'm not 
sure if i understand the above statement.  How would nasty comments 
by Gary hurt Gary's career?

BTW, i wasn't advocating being nasty or derogative to anyone on the 
list.  I think what i was trying to say was if you are willing to don 
the label of being 'experimental' and 'avante garde', i feel that you 
really can't be too sensitive to the reaction.  If you've got the 
balls to advertise yourself as something outside the circle (however 
tame and milquetoast the circle may be), you really can't complain if 
those folks in the circle either throw a few stones at you, or close 
the door behind ya.

Yes, the original post was nasty, and Gary could have been more 
constructive, even if he didn't like it.  I don't condone his 
method...I'm just not going to say "oh, poor Stuart".

Stuart seemed to indicate the same attitude in his responses.  He was 
confident enough in what he did that Gary's interpretations were his 
own.

gots to go ta work, seeya!
