On the contrary, I would like to add.
The adaweb story is a success story. For four years -or how long was it?-
they have been pinching money from the evil corporate world and using it
for beautiful artistic purposes. The adaweb people are heroes! They have
been the Robin Hoods of the net.art world for four years! That must be a
world record! Is the glass half full or is it half empty?

Yours truly,

Jeff.
