I am merely looking at it from a different point of view.Michael Volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974426113900042984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-91531043010176261032011-07-31T00:41:43.292+01:002011-07-31T00:41:43.292+01:00Why should people be forced to form opinions only ...Why should people be forced to form opinions only in the way that you specify ? This is a gorgeous opera which needs to be done more often, but it's a tough one to do right. All the more reason to respect analytical opinion of any kind. If anything I've been generous because I believe in the OHP ethos.Doundou Tchilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469682216179706743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-51845046062779497112011-07-30T23:39:13.486+01:002011-07-30T23:39:13.486+01:00Perhaps.

I would that since you are reviewing people's work, you ought to formulate your thoughts, good or bad, before committing them to paper or the internet. Just an opinion of course.Michael Volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974426113900042984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-15460096634939774092011-07-30T13:02:58.533+01:002011-07-30T13:02:58.533+01:00Why ?

If you want superficial, you can find that anywhere. I'm more interested in generating ideas. <br /><br />As for projections, you're right at OHP where it doesn't get dark til the show's over. But again, I'm trying to stimulate thought not provide absolute solutions.Doundou Tchilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469682216179706743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-77160623660125254072011-07-30T08:57:03.266+01:002011-07-30T08:57:03.266+01:00Why write this lengthy "review" when a f...Why write this lengthy "review" when a formal version will follow? As for projections, I wonder how one might do those in daylight.<br /><br />One of the great risks for reviewers is to write about what they have seen too soon.....Michael Volpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974426113900042984noreply@blogger.com
