Assuming that the material in each disgest accurately reflects the amount of contributions, then everyone's missive is making it out on the list anyway, so what's to complain about? Offhand, I don't see where the humanist/technologist dichomety is MORE appropriately discussed than concerning space, that field being a major area of technological endeavor with possibly the largest potential impact upon humanity. In order to make sense of technology, the human factors must be added to the equation. Ignoring one for the other is perhaps expedient but ill-fated. Although I agree with JP that if forced to choose between 'art' and 'technology', 'art' would, for me, lose, though it would be painful to actually do such a deed. ------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
