Because, Jan, we are perhaps "interested* in how the picture was created, from a technical perspective, including your favorite minutiae. If this *photography* group was simply an Art Appreciation group, I could understand your lament, but actually, it is a group of *technical* photography folks, who are indeed interested in a lot more than the feeling and mood of a photograph. Certainly, from an art perspective, those are very interesting, and warrant a lot of attention and discussion. But to claim that discussions of small details are not germane to this photography group is rather missing the entire point of this email list.
