It's easy to think of what hurts and what you don't have and less likely to
walk down the street thinking "gee my leg doesn't hurt" or "I've got this
nice camera!"
A roundabout way of saying, as Ted is busy sometimes for a month, that such
input from a long experienced in this case Pro who has dedicated his life to
photography is invaluable and easily taken for for Grant-Ted.
When we read a Ted Grant post the BS quotient is zero. Ted can skip that
stuff.

Lets not take Ted Grant for Grant Ted.
Its the other way round.

(amazing how this worked out)
