Hey Mark,

We have reached approximately the halfway mark in the number of pieces 
that you planned to discuss.  I feel an obligation to finish the job 
since the artists were notified, but with just the two of us 
contributing it is kind of a marathon.  I'm not sure if the nature of my 
input is to blame but participation seems to be dwindling.  Do you think 
persistence is the answer?  I have long noticed the reluctance to 
discuss the work on the level of meaning in these groups or for that 
matter in the cg phenomenon at large.  So I very much welcomed your idea 
to host more open discussion. I thought it quite important to the 
progress of the enterprize, to advance raytracing as an art, to discuss 
the work not just technically but in relation to its content.  It is 
like it helps complete the cycle, having the art received and discussed, 
and should produce a richer context within which the community can 
produce more work.  But maybe not.  Your thoughts?

-Jim
