VOLUME #6: OUT OF THE BOX
http://www.volumeproject.org/email/newsletter_Volume6april06.html
定期購読している雑誌「VOLUME」の第６号が到着。 まず全体をパラパラとめくる。 あいかわらず、何を言いたいんだか、非常に読み取りにくい。 もう少しなんとかならんのだろうかと漠然と思いながら、再び最初の方のページをパラパラとめくっていると、巻頭にその説明が、実に読み取りやすく載っていた。 全文は＜こちら＞。
「しばしば尋ねられる『質問』とその『答え』」、「めったに尋ねられることのない『質問』とその『答え』」、「全く持って尋ねられることのない『質問』とその『答え』」、という構成は、『答え』そのものの納得感は別にしても、説得力がある。
