Fine, Bob Shell is a wonderful guy who knows more about photography than
anybody else on earth and generously shares that knowledge on a couple of
lists.  No argument.  All I am saying is that I personally, {that's me, not
you, not Mark Rabiner, not anybody else} found "Shutterbug" under his
direction to be of no use and let my subscription lapse.  I did not attack
Bob Shell.  I did not, "...poke fun at his (un)glamour content," (YOUR
WORDS, NOT MINE).  I did not take Bob Shell's name in vain.  Is that clear?

Buzz,

Bob Shell is very active on the contax slr mailing list. Although it's easy 
to poke fun at his (un)glamour content through the years, his connections 
in the photo equipment industry are tremendous, and it adds a lot of value 
to that list, as well as to the magazine.  I think that Bob remains a 
contributing editor.
