If we were to admire Henri Cartier-Bresson for his supposed technique,
we should be disappointed to learn that it was something other than we
had been led to believe. But a great photographer is not the one with
a great technique, but the one who produces great photographs whatever
his technique may happen to be. And I know of no photographer who has
produced greater photographs than Cartier-Bresson.

Poor Ted! Listen troops, not one word about Santa Claus on here. I
don't want this list to be responsible for whatever happens to Ted.

It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
