Hi Abraham,

I must say I am chuffed that you have taken it upon yourself to place my
name amongst well known and x-college trained, and educated net.artists;
i'll save this document for my children to see (if I ever have any that is).
And all those mark's - you've got a point. Sheesh, it makes me feel as if I
shouild change my name.

concrete myrth (my alias)

mark river and marc lafia, just to name a sampling. that's amazing!

if your name isn't mark consider including 'mark
