So it seems like the cat got Normans loose tongue? Either that or he just doesn't have the "ticker" to engage in a public discussion about his "individual" approach to commercial practice.

Just so you know folks, I've followed up again re AMMA with the Aust Arts Council who seem to be hosting/sponsoring the AMO website.

My first mail was on July 22nd. They replied on 24/7/08 saying that someone would make contact. On 4/8 I followed up again re the outcome of my email.... i.e. to speak to an actual human being, with still no reply from the Arts Council. Today, the 12th Aug, I followed up with them again by email. If there is no reply through the customer service people at the front end of the Arts Council say by the end of the week, then the process escalates and I'll start to make contact re the issue through management or political channels.

Either way the Australian Arts Council needs to justify their decision (or be held accountable) for giving any internet spAMMA a cloak of respectability. Will pass on any info re contact if or when it happens.

Cheers,

Andrez
