Saving the stage (is the work of the stage itself;)

From Sergei Novikov To All 21 February 1998


Hello Andrew!

SN>> IMHO, it won’t help. It may be possible to sell a certain amount of prog this way,
SN>> but it will not enliven the scene and will not adequately pay the authors’ work. For this role
SN>> only SOS is suitable.
AS> Yeah, so here’s another point I missed about “bringing the scene to life.”

Yeah. Your project will not help with this.

AS> Well, the question is too serious,

[skippy]

AS> We need to make sure that there is a healthy climate, so that people feel comfortable,
AS> pleasant, comfortable and most importantly INTERESTING! Everything - this will happen, our people will grow
AS> in numbers - DESPITE EVERYTHING!!! The rest seems not to need to be explained.

I still haven’t noticed how your project should enliven the scene, lead to active
“making”. SOS was originally aimed at this. Your project may be good in some way, but it won’t give this ( ) result -> it and SOS simply CANNOT
be compared!
