I'm sorry for being unclear. I recall several online conversations where people stated things to the effect that Fractal art would benefit from some kind of "online museum" or such -- a distinguished, respected, place where folks can show up occasionally and spend a couple minutes or an hour just looking at good fractal art. I don't personally think that that is such a good idea, but I certainly can't see where it would hurt any to have such a thing. The conversation stops, predictably, when the question is asked "who should be the curator of that place" as the understanding is that this person/group would have to look at a lot of art and pick the "best" - and that would invite a lot of haggling over the choices and maybe bad blood and a lot of work for a thankless job and who is really qualified to determine what the "best" is etc. etc. However it strikes me that you guys are already doing exactly that job -- and you're doing a fine job at that. You're already sifting through mountains of possibilities and you pick what you consider best and while I'm sure nobody out here has 100% the exact same taste as you, there doesn't seem to be a lot of hostility about your choices -- they're your choices and everybody understands that and nobody seems to have a problem. And I'm just wondering where those are coming from that say an online-museum that exibits "the best that fractal art has to offer" would be a prohibitive amount of work and sow hostility. I see a very similar function being performed quite well right here on the FWW. That's all I wanted to note. Nothing important, really.
