Point taken.  I would however note that virtually no one is willing to talk 
about what I do on the internet on these lists.  It is considered career 
suicide, because I am not in the circle of commissioned workers.  

For example, compare my page 
http://www.geocities.com/genius-2000/SFMOMA82700.html to the SFMOMA's real 
page at sfmoma.org (their 010101 show in particular).  

I don't just mean people prefer not to discuss Genius 2000.  I mean, most 
people explicitly refuse to, even upon multiple requests from various diverse 
sources.  Genius 2000 has also been censored quite often off the major 
art-listservs.  I often receive private emails of support and encouragement 
which end with the reservation that discussing Genius 2000 is too imprudent 
to be done in public (i.e. on the lists).  

I also think Genius 2000 has quite a lot to say about the medium in general, 
and the medium in general is presently in a state of dormancy.
