It's a measure of the guy that he dealt with you so gently, that's a generous spirit in action right there, that is.
that was gentle?
And I did note his love of th' arts, and don't diss that.
but as far as speaking for someone like Federico García Lorca, I can only hope to understand what led him to his decision and ideally walk in his boots for a bit before I'd feel I could speak for him,
If he wasn't dead I'd ask him and I'd listen.But these were simple points and I can't see anywhere where its said," I see what you're saying and why you're saying it"
opinion is great but listening has its benefits.

Chipping in somewhat way too late: I like the archiving project. But that booklet is a hard read. I had to get a legal opinion, which was fine for a big institution, but not so cool for an individual.
And it does have some odd (unintended?) consequences. Occasionally I'll get a request from someone wanting to buy video material, usually a library. The legal opinion is that we don't have to worry about digital deposit until material is "made available to the public".
Since any sale constitutes making it available, a single sale means two additional copies sent to Nat Lib, with postage, time, and forms filled out. Two copies cost very little, but the time and hassle add up. Apparently giving the copy to a library would still require compliance.
Consequently... there's an inclination to simply say no to the original request (haven't done this yet, but then I'm getting paid: if it were all my time and money it'd be different.)
For what it's worth, robbery, the Nat Library people I ended up talking to were sympathetic, friendly and grateful. No heaviness at all. But even in the abstract, the threat of a $5k fine is a big stick to wave around. -
Nope, proper V6, is 3.0 though, and under the bonnet of a people mover, but I can still comfort my inner bogan by dragging off diesels and old ladies at the lights.

Thanks rob but I've already been executed, :)
now all I need is joan baez to do translated renditions of my works, posthumously of course.I've 'talked' to the legal deposit people and they do seem sympathetic to the situation. my issue is with the people who drafted the whole thing up,

Did anyone watch the 'who killed the electric car ' doco.
It wasn't a funny one like M Moores or daily show, but very interesting about the politics behind change, or the lack of it.
my car is less economical than the car I could by 20 years ago, most are. I'd ride a bike but its colder than something really cold out there, nd I'm not going anywhere, fast -
robbery.... i repeat i found you to be an idiot and not worthy of further time being wasted upon in attempts at rational conversation......and nah dont i dont lug heavy speakers...on occaisions i get stuck telling others where to lug them to but thats about the limit of my involvement in that realm for me....

you don't do this sort of thing professionally somewhere do you?
Nope, I haven't found a way to make it keep me in the style to which I've become accustomed. I just stick to the geeking to earn a crust and pursue this sort of thing in a totally amateur way. The results are so much purer that way - like Rugby in the old days before the filthy dollar took over the game :-)
