The quote from that poster is terrible. I hope that all of us here can agree that it is totally beyond the pale. The only thing you can do with someone that out of bounds is ignore them, though. Posting to him is only going to give him the attention he craves- the same is true of all the other posters who post really horrible outlandish stuff. If they are ignored they will either go away, or they will cease to matter.

zonder, "average joe" appears to be a government operative. He is a zombie who is impervious to intelligent rebuttal and is always "on message". Regard him as a malevolent employee of the secret U.S. government operation to infiltrate and subvert the Internet. Too bad he is so incompetent. His evals must suck.

Hi zonder, We have some work of a French artist we really like, Linda Le Kniff, We have an artist proof and a signed, low numbered litho. Just wondering if you know of her work and what you think of it. Thanks, c P.S. Some info.. maui.net <<< In the bold and vibrant creations of Linda Le Kinff, elements of her beloved masters permeate her highly original visions, embuing them with a force greater than the sum of their parts. Yet, when a body of her work is gathered for an exhibition, there is no mistaking that such a collection is a coherent outpouring of one very focused and original mind, drawing on a diverse treasure of artistic influences and personal experiences. Born in Paris in 1949, from French parents on one side and Brazilian on the other (to which she attributes her exotic imagination), Le Kinff was trained in the classics, studying ancient techniques for twelve years in Italy where she became quite accomplished at painting, drawing, the graphic arts and the secrets of the Old Masters: tempera, egg painting on wood, the use of gold leaf as taught in Florence and Livomo. After her formal education, she surrounded herself with artists, painters and sculptors and the passion generated by this group changed, she maintains, the direction of her destiny, though she somehow always knew she would end up an artist. "That is to say that I have never had another career, except for a short attraction for journalism and writing for architectural magazines." Drawing from her travels, dreams, reading and imagination, Le Kinff has taken her place among contemporary artists whose work frees us from the mundane reality of everyday life, not with elaborate fantasy but with a sure-handed rendering of beauty and elegance in line with her personal view on painting, which is "Everything is teaching a lesson of modesty." Never condescending, always uplifting, Linda LeKinff, with her new exposure to American audiences via Chedworth Publishing, is certain to become a. force majeure not only in the marketplace, but in the diaspora of this multi-tiered beast known as the Art World. >>> By Victor Forbes Anothe link nifty-fifties.com

Just put yourself out of your misery for all our sakes. Vetoed. Joe is Canadian. Good people. If anyone had any doubt that you have no taste, there is no doubt now. Hey, he's got to have taste! He doesn't eat frogs and snails, right? And you claim people that will eat anything that moves, like the frogs, have taste. And if you ever doubt that fans of France are total, hopeless idiots, I refer you to llmarinen.

Wrong again Zonder... I guess it would be news to you that some of the oldest people known to mankind are from the south of France. You know, the cuisine that doesn't use much butter but relies on olive oil, a lot of vegetables and some meat. (NY Times) - Biologists have found a class of chemicals that they hope will make people live longer by activating an ancient survival reflex. One of the chemicals, a natural substance known as resveratrol, is found in red wines, particularly those made in cooler climates like that of New York. The finding could help explain the so-called French paradox, the fact that the French live as long as anyone else despite consuming fatty foods deemed threatening to the heart story.news.yahoo.com
