First of all, I was not trying to excuse anyone.

If someone decides to get involved *with these rules* and gets crap, 
that isnt the National Geographic and there is no point on hiding his 
results just because it's under his own standars. Only by that he has 
my respect even if I dislike what I see.

I had the luck to see Robert Capa's contacts of the Spanish Civil War, 
almost everything he took over here. The great photgrapher he was was 
mixed with useless shots, entire rolls saying little or nothing... so 
who cares if with 36 exposures the result its under average? what you 
can expect?

About the machine-who-makes-artists... god, Im too sauntered to discuss 
that! (even if someone still believes in miracles....) :-P
