"We certainly wouldn't want to have any visual continuity or anything like that. Much better if each person simply put whatever strikes their fancy that day into a square."

Okay, I confess that I overstated my case regarding The Rules. It's okay by me if an auto worker joins a union. It's okay by me if a journalist rigidly adheres to the Chicago Manual of Style. For that matter, it's okay by me if an artist wants to join a union and follow The Rules. I don't, but all power to you if you do.

"As far as the ''TCA FREE ZONE'' goes, it seems as if you've taken some sort of offense (I'm not sure about this one, just guessing). All I have to say is: doors and eyes do not paranoia make."

You're paranoid because you're guessing that I've taken some sort of offense? BTW, shouldn't that be TCA-FREE ZONE? As it is, it could be misread as TCA's FREE ZONE. The devil is in the details.
