Right. That fearsome Interweb thingie. Can't be too careful!

At what point do you stop requiring to be spoon fed? You post all
sorts of BS that has little or nothing to do with architecture, then
when someone - a regular on the newsgroup - posts something that does
have something to do with architecture you bitch that he doesn't serve
it up in your style?

Thank you for your thoughts. I don't click on unidentified websites for
a couple of reasons - image intensive waits and malicious code. A
simple descriptionusually suffices to let people know what they are
clicking on. A single word would have done this one, the last name of
the architect.

The single word Saarinen would preclude lag time and malicious sites?
Interesting theory.

Naw, I've never been any good at conspiracy - I just calls 'em as I sees
'em. Like every other human on the face fo the planet, sometimes I might
sees 'em a bit crosseyed ;) , but no conspiracies - my mind doesn't
function in that way.

At any rate, did you get a chance to read about "Resource-based economy"
and "cities that think"? IMO, it's food for thought, tho' I'm not so sure
about the practicality of *all* of it.

I rather enjoyed the article, I have always appreciated Saarinen's work. His
chapel at MIT is excellent, but the domed auditorium adjacent has had
acoustical and roofing problems and since it opened. While you can hardly
hear the person on the stage, a whisper on one side of the audience can be
heard on the other side.
