<p>Richard, your comments are always insightful & interesting.</p>
<p>Now let me be perfectly clear: I am not suggesting that Robert Ridley-Shakleton is egocentric. I don't see him as a self-promoter either. We have the wonderful Self-Absorption Ltd. group here at IUOMA (founded by Rain Rein Nevermind) to remind us about curbing the egomania. (Ironic that Rain Rein is remembered these days mostly because of his affiliation with Diane Keys. The tail wags the dog, as they say.)…</p>

<p>No. No. I am praising RRS for doing custom-made recordings for his correspondents! Imagine - individualized compositions. Incredible. I think he loves the art & transcends ego.</p>
<p>RRS is doing some sort of collage collab process with Diane, so this will be interesting.</p> 21.12.15 Dare De Villo Sloan,…tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2015-12-21:2496677:Comment:18896812015-12-21T14:57:45.062ZRichard Canardhttps://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/RichardCanard

Recent hallmarks for me have been Mail Art Martha's" "Trashpie" & now Robert Ridley-Shackleton's "Cardboard Club". ... welcome additions to the lexicon of of collage & mail art ...... & also, I find it of interest that you refer to the expression" ego-centric self-promotion"....this is dangerous & daring talk…</p>
