We all have some pride and I have to give him some room to reconsider. Why don't
you?  How do you think he feels if everyone and their mother is after him to
take up the Genius2000 cause and review the worthy First Edition?

Is Steve just doing his humble job and trying to put a meal on his plate? Every
mother in MASS will have to concider that it could be theirs. Should they push
or gently encorage? We also have to consider that we all are on the same side.
Also this video has powerfull ramifications. Steve may be in fear of the
comsiquences. He may have a fear of success. Many in his position do you know.
How do you think history got written if not for the murcureal efforts of the
great movers of art? Steve needs a little more encouragement. Does he listen to
his mother? Will Steve listen to other mothers?

He has the Authority to change his mind.

Is writing reviews in his job description? Does he do this for every art project
that crosses his desk?

Yes perhaps so. I nor others are really qualified to do it ether, and maybe he
has already exercised that option. Maybe only his mother will tell.
