Boy... Ain't that the truth! What planet indeed! I have never heard such
utter nonsense in my life. Boggles the mind!

I guess Ted and I should hang it up. We're both over 60, therefore all of
the work we have done over the many years, is now NG (No Good). It cannot
compete with current unknown photographers work. By the way... who are
they. I'd like to see their work in the flesh. Do they give classes?
