I'm not even sure why I'm sending this message ...

group 1, I couldn't get at a great deal of your project, well, I couldn't
get around the head. The head has truly evolved though, but I won't comment
on it. Most of my comments have been said already:
the client pull is a perfect way to both display the information and to make
your own critque of the way these modes are acquired. You seem to be making
a number of determinations about how much power the reader is going to have
versus the site itself. I would say, trust yourselves and screw the reader.
Push this down our throats until we are actually bothered by it. Instead of
making conduct supoosedly transparent, give it to us directly and quickly so
that we can see it accumulate into a gigantic pile. This is what occured
with Tom's string that I saw in class last week. It accumulated so quickly
that I could not tell you the particular order or perhaps even remember more
than three or four pages, but I had a very definite reaction both to the
series of pages and to conduct. Which my reaction resides in more I don't
know, but I'm not trying to distinguish.
Don't know if this is remotely useful, but
James.
