Stamper,
My personal take on the art of Internet chat is this: the more closely it can follow natural conversation the better it is, and the more likely to retain involvement. I can't remember any real conversation where anyone stuck to a plot or script - well, maybe estate agents trying to lower your expectations so they can get a quick sale and boost to their bottom line whilst trying to convince you the while that you are their main concern...
It's the same (for me) with all those interviews with photographers where they spout statements of extrasensory magic; thanks, but not really: I want to see snaps and learn about their real lives, not their phoney PR junk. Wiki can do all of that already. The interest is in discovering what made them the people they became; whether they were different in themselves or just blessed with lotsa parental clout or whatever. An interesting example to follow in the years to come is David Bailey's son who is also a photographer (just as is Brian Duffy's lad, too...).
Alternatively, this may interest absolutely nobody but moi. Which simply proves yet another thing about life. Oh - wait! It's the national anthem: show's over - time to leave the cinema! No, your bra's not lost, honey - I think you put it in your handbag when we came in.
