Hi Daniel.

Well, let's see-- you pretty much disagreed with everything I have to say
about art.

This makes it exceedingly clear to me that I really have no idea what I'm
talking about.

Since I don't appear to have a lot to contribute, perhaps you need to
discuss this with someone who has a brain large enough to contain what art
is.

Cheers.
