Mr. Winslow,

     Unfortunately, YOUR reply to my message is also used
by those "artists" who seem to me patently misguided or
deliberately exploitive of the artistic community. "They
just don't understand my great master-work" is not a terribly
convincing reply, I'm afraid. To give just one example, as
an experiment, several art assessors were given a painting
painted by a chimpanzee, and were asked to price it. The
consensus was about $10,000.
