photo.net is falling apart

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2002.11.12

The people at photo.net are getting weird. I participated in a thread on their photo-of-the-week, asking why the moderators were editting everything so heavily, and in reponse they deleted my post without explanation. When I sent an email asking why this happened, I got no response (it's now been ten days). It strikes me as strange that the place that was overrun with traffic throughout the year should be getting weird just when it's traffic is starting to wane.

rand()m quote

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

—John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
