Not everything I write is necessarily true, and I sometimes forget to put Smileys after the text... ;-) I thought the debate was getting a little wierd, especially when Mr Hull categorically announces that any photograph with out-of-focus portions is a waste of chemicals. (He later explained his view and I can appreciate his standpoint, although I don't necessarily agree.) I thought John's reply was wonderful and I attempted to post in a similar jest. Unfortunately, I don't possess his articulatory skills. I was simply engaging in a little collective leg-pulling. To the best of my knowledge there is no such research, though, who knows, maybe I'll start a trend... ;-) M. - -- Martin V. Howard, Application Systems Laboratory, | Now fully Dept. of Comp. & Info.
