Alan, I think what happened here illustrates nicely my point about email
discussions. And I may have been contentious myself but I felt it was
for a good cause. The cause of truth, freedom, justice and the American
way! Now will anyone misconstrue that as other than sarcastic humor?
If I hadn't added this question, I'll bet they would have. They still
might.

PS You all keep up the good work. It stretches the mind. There is
nothing like like a good verbal rough and tumble to spice up your day.
Almost as good as photographs and discussion.

Alan, are you referring to the post below by me, Don, not Bob. Or
another post. If you mean my post, please reread it. I was bemoaning
that people did not look into other areas of photography or consider them
important like their own interests. I think that goes along with what you
just said below. I feel the biggest impediment to reaching any conclusion
here is the nature of email. It is to easy to misunderstand the spirit in
which a comment was made. By the time you can get back to it, the
message has been quoted, edited, requoted, misconstrued and turned into
something other than what it was. I have the utmost regard for your
opinions as well as your images FWIW. Now if you really meant Bob, not
Don, never mind.

Cripes, Bob who's being contentious here. Nobody is saying you have to
like a picture. The point was that if you really care about something
why not learn about it in some depth? Even casual hobbyists gain more
enjoyment by refining their tastes and understanding.
