Is MySpace not "something?" I seem to recall that during the recent flare-up quite a few folks here thought it was.

Aesthetically speaking....are you suggesting that marketing cannot be a form of entertainment or art? If so, I think Rupert Murdoch, and many of his bloody insects would likely disagree with you. ;-)

  PG:
This feels a bit like being harrassed, but...here goes. Truth is, I'm not enjoying this conversation, mostly because this subject is so over for me.
   
  I thought the differences between choosing something like MySpace (a promotional tool), and choosing something like a concert or a workshop (entertainment, art, education) were obvious. I don't feel I have to create some pithy metaphor (which seem to be lost on you anyway) to explain here. If you want to feel like you've "won" this discussion, start celebrating now. Just so you know, I'm not promoting MySpace, I don't care who uses it and who doesn't. I'm just using it as a marketing or promotional tool.
   
  As I said before, this conversation is over for me. Please stop replying to my posts (on this particular subject)...this is the last you're going to hear from me on this. I have better things to do, and I have no interest in convincing you to think like me.
