Just a couple of quick points to clarify. Jim, please play nice. I did not compare the millions of people who admire modern art to Nazis. It is considerably misleading to have characterized my statements as such. I was using an analogy to show how the number of adherents of something is not a particularly good measure for judging its value, and you know it. Or, at least, you should have known it. Also, when using the term "idiot" repeatedly, as I did, it was used because of the common phrase in English "any idiot can do it". That does not really mean that only an idiot can do it, nor that everyone who does whatever it is one is talking about is an idiot. It's just a saying, and I expect that you knew that, too. We should try to keep our arguments a little closer to the substantive issues of the discussion. If my writing is not clear enough (although I feel it was) please ask me to re-state it. Thanks.
More later.
Juan
