Sorry mate, but i'm loosing interest.

The rest of your response doesn't quite make sense to me.

I was thinking about a conversation i had with a guy called Patrick during the Summer.
Patrick hosted an adult education study day in Oxford regarding the moq and art last October.
He asked me why someone was travelling all the way from the US just to talk for an hour at his study day?
He seemed genuinely perplexed.
The guy in question was David Buchanan, whom you may recall?
I suggested that the intention may have been for the event to be videoed for a forthcoming DVD compilation.
Patrick said he had already declined the request, which sort of confirmed, to me at least, what the whole thing was really about:
commodifying the moq and flogging it as a brand.
I think it may have been Anthony McWatt who initiated the request?
When anything begins to look like a celebrity driven social scam for making money, it turns me off.
I think i have become rather cynical over the last few years, and i have almost come to expect that a good idea
will, inevitably, be hijacked and used to benefit an individual or small group of individuals.
I'm waiting for it to happen for your dqu.
It seems this is the way humans have evolved, and it is the way they behave when doing what they do.
