As at the bottom of this mail it shows this Martinez is another of Eryk
Salvaggio's ways to get attention (another one is attacking people as
Meiko and Ryu of course) I will only reply to the most poignant mistakes
in this mail. Not for Brad or Eryk, but for others that might be even
remotely attracted to their basic instinct thinking.

private email is not open source.

This is a big mistake, and it is the strongest clichee that remained of
the old avantgarde. The idea that art should become one with everyday
life and everything will then be ok is naive to say the least.

It is not normal to force someone into a position. I have never done
that. Eryk Salvagio and Brad Brace have. They help create the walls we
all try to move.


For trust and understanding.
