I get no gobbly-gook from champagne and certainly never none ever from
Erwin period. Never has a technical writer expressed so much information
so well than Erwin Puts in my humble opinion except that I'm right.
We're talking photography here. Erwins name and integrity do not have to
be thrown up for grabs here. He has done nothing to deserve it expect to
illuminate us. Do I sound worshipful? I am not a blind follower of Erwin
or anyone. Erwin has made plenty of assertions which didn't agree with
or my personal experience in his voluminous writings and here on the
lug. But the little bell in my ear tells me he speaks mainly the truth.
The bulls^%t bell never goes off. Erwin writes with clarity and I tend
to read what ever he writes twice and print it. When you're right you're right.
