Eccentric Flower talk:200911/Two Important Quotes

Bunny42:

If you write it well enough, I'll read it, even if it has no significance for me whatsoever. Your WoW posts are a case in point. I told Robert I'll be reading Tom Robbins oeuvre, because it's so beautiful to "listen" to his writing. I might not care so much about the subjects, but the "music" is breathtaking.

So, that's a reason. FWIW, I'm checking out the archives to see what I've missed. Ever since that conversation in the tea room (wish I could remember what it was called) I'm a believer.

ProfRobert:

"Why would anyone come to see or read something that had no consequence or significance for them whatsoever?"

To be entertained. And remember, most folks' standard of "entertaining" is abysmally low; how else do you explain Dancing with the Stars, Amazing Race, Big Brother and all of reality TV?

I'm with you on Danny O'Brien. I hung on every NTK word, and though I keep seeing a few things that make me think I ought to support the EFF, every time I get ready to commit to a check they do something face-palm worthy. So I've tuned out everything EFF, which means I didn't even know where he was any more. Even though I exchanged email with him occasionally back in the day.

I also miss Mouthorgan, and wonder if you think you could keep up a nom de plume for such an endeavor, but understand if you can't.

OT, but thank you for the link to Jim Griffioen - I've been reading it all morning long.

Detroit really doesn't have a thing to do with me, but I like his writing and his photos. Same with Boston, so maybe this is not so off topic after all.
