Warts and all, it's about as good as could be expected. As Sellam
implies, all publicity is good publicity, unless it's news of your
untimely passing.
Such activities as the aforementioned are
certainly far more noble
than just getting PCs from 1997 or so upgraded with new hardware so
that they can run new software.
It's just the way journalism works these days. Quick sound
bytes and articles of little substance that just point and
say, "Look at how abnormal this is" are the order of the day.
Truth be told, I don't even remember being interviewed for
that article, though it certainly seems like I was.
At any rate, the positive aspect is that if the article does
reach folks who share the passion but are not privvy to the
Festival or the CC list, then now they know, and they can find us.
