Comments on Comments To all of you who send in your responses to the Newsletter, a sincere thank-you. You have all liked the feature articles - Tony Randall on theater, Carol Schuberg and Barbara Pollack on dance, and Therese Schwartz on visual art. Keep the feedback coming our way, please. Concerned about the archiving of electronic information, one reader posed a series of questions, looking at the pros and cons to a business of storing its corporate email. The punchline was this reader's final question: "Given that companies must turn over email under subpoena on occassion for various type of legal matters, is there any rule of thumb?" Very good question. As for an answer, any ideas out there? You also commented, almost all favorably, on the new look we introduced in issue 3. We hope the unhappy reader from issue 2 is happier with the re-design, and still enjoying the articles. A theater teacher in a public school system tries to live with a school policy of "Anything is acceptable just as long as it doesn't make us look bad or get us sued." And in an interesting confluence, this reader and Therese Schwartz's final essay agree on the importance to the artist of an audience, however small or large. The spectre of computers possessed of human-like brainpower did not discourage this reader at all: "And if in the future we create a machine that is able to feel and create art by itself, then so what? We will call it a 'different kind of child' and let it make the journey every artist must make toward creation." Anyone out there a resource for an article on culture in Iceland? We've gotten a request. Special to the single-click advocate ("Since when do we have to double click on a URL link?"): Perhaps it depends on your email client. The one we work from requires the extra effort. In closing, we all want to thank the loyal reader who makes a trip to the public library as each issue is released, where access to the Internet gives our reader and the library staff a chance to explore each Newsletter. Your comments were heartwarming. |
