    "cui bono" Carla as they used to say. 

    If Tim McCreight wrote a book on PMC would one expect him to 'dis'
    PMC? Highly unlikely. I must say also that I saw a woman at a show in
    San Francisco whose work in PMC made me pause. 

    I'm going to p*ss off' a lot of people with this; but there's the
    cliche "if you can't do it teach it". I have never met T. McC.; so
    this is not directed at him; but Carla's comment about a 'pyramid
    scheme' and a double cappuccino prompts the "if you can't do it...". 

    I used to be an academic: English Literature. Some of the most
    unreadable stuff one would ever read was written by teaching
    academics. But also some of the best work came from the university
    where I taught: Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, Charles Olson, John
    Barth, Leslie Fiedler, and Robert Haas who was a junior faculty
    member were there. But most of those were professional writers and
    were only 'temps' at the university.
