Kathy, I agree with you totally; I was reacting to CF's postulation of 
elists as dissemination/gallery spaces for online work. I've had too much 
of governance on them to agree with her assessment. On the other hand, the 
Web obviously does present the best of all worlds to those who can't or 
won't make it to the gallery or sub to the list.

Interestingly, I was an "artistic director" (a fairly empty position) at 
Hallwalls in Buffalo for close to a year, and one of the things I proposed 
was that the gallery turn to telecommunications for disseminating work 
outside the physical gallery structure. At that point, the suggestion was 
of course turned down. Today, almost all public cultural institutions are 
dealing one way or another with the Net - the resources are incredible.
