  My personal definition of art is the ability to capture emotions ( a 
non-physical entity) into a physical medium of some kind.  Personally I 
find that definte enough, but still open enough to a large lattitude in 
interpretation.

 BTW people, do a favour for some of us - PLEASE do not quote back the 
entire message when making a reply.  Please edit it down.

 If somebody like me ona crapply little dos based reader can edit a 
message down, I am quite sure the rest of you on big Unix owrkstations or 
using Windows based software can find a way to do the same.
thanks
