If net.art is good enough, we should be able to judge it. We should be able to discuss it within the canons of taste, style, aesthetics, politics, rhetoric and technology (to name just a few) available to us. I don't care what digital artists think they are doing: as somebody looking at what they do, I want to be able to enjoy it, judge it, think about it, read it and misread it – as I do good poetry.

There is nothing holy about netart, nor is there about poetry. When it is good, it is good. When it is not, it is not, and then we start talking about how we decide what that means.
