(...) Actually you can go further from this premise. I have interesting thoughts going through my mind while sitting in a train for example. Would you count the scenery I see passing by as art? It's about as good as implying EVERYTHING around us is (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Even selective compression is a form of that. If you can EVOKE the look of (for example) Cincinatti Union Terminal without having as many tracks or asmany columns on the front of the headhouse, you've succeeded artistically, I feel...

(...) Sure it is. If it's not a *high* point for Ham, he's using the bong incorrectly.(1) (...) Art is in the eye of the beholder.
