What the heck does that mean: "working"?
Jim Carlile is great on attitude and abstract notions. But Jim, please can
you please name one, two, or three current institutions that meet your
rigorous standards? That would sure make it easier to understand your rhetoric,
which seems to be based on slogans, not reality.

Working means doing the craft. I can't name any institution, because there
aren't any-- that's my point. They're all about networking, and "archives" and
a culture-vulture mentality that sits around and does its "connoisseur"
thing.
Fact is, FAF was originally founded to actually do things, not exist for the
sake of being an organization with all sorts of "aspects," or whatever they
call them. This is the bane of the age.
