Dear William Moody,=20

Thank you for your response < I think that it is easier to define what =
is bad form than to define what is good.>

I would be interested in your definition of "Bad Form". How is this =
identified?

In the case of technical quality what is poor may be obvious. Rough =
surfaces, cracks and fractures, kiln dirt, slipshod brushwork and so on. =
But because, so far, no definition has been given to enable us to =
conceptualise "Form" I think the problem of identifying what is good and =
what is bad is not possible.

Best regards,

Ivor.
