That puts us back in the last lengthy discussion on this--some people think 
there is something special about the frame--it's okay to crop with the 
camera, and brain, but not okay with photoshop. I think there is a very 
fuzzy line between them

i don't think any of these questions are answerable--but they make for a 
valuable exercise

my main problem is with those who think the answers are very easy and very 
black & white--people's lives are being ruined or trifled with by people who 
are are dogmatic and have less command of their subject than they think

i'm seeing many shades of gray where some are seeing black & white
