Content-Length: 6740 This makes no sense to me - the network first of all is open, second of all, there's nothing wrong with an ego trip - we are all equally working out of them - and I can't help it if you don't see the difference between one circle and another. Webartery is a circle, for example - rather use peer group, but it's all the same. And the network spills everywhere - it's NOT just the net, but performance, video, fleshmeets, conferences, telephone calls, pdas, etc. etc. And it's not just one network (my error) but networks and networking. Most of the artists btw I respect are tremendous egotists; they have to be in order to survive. And I see nothing wrong with that. I might not want to be around one or another person, but that's ok too.
