I don't know about the details Chris, but you told me/us you worked for the
money.

For me that's a good reason to shoot; the keyword is survival.

Yet, is it a good reason to share your commercial art on the lug and other
lists?

How many of us luggers, Oly users and others have bought your prints?

The LUG and the Oly list are not market squares, they're for friendship,
openness and photography or vice-versa.

Locked in your own world, how many times have you congratulated any of the
other posters?

What do you share with them, us, me? Bucks?

I'm sorry this appalling episode in your history takes us all so much way
downwards, really sorry.

Philippe
