OK, I may be dense here, but why are we continuing to deify
HasCountlessBenefitsfromhisfamily?

Know what? The world has actually rotated a bit since HCB married surrealism
and photography. Get over it.

I propose to the LUG that although His shoes would fit my, and our, feet
poorly, there are thousands of better, yes, better, photographers out there
today whose work gets
0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the coverage
that He does.

Please, get over it and let's move on to another niveau which is unrelated
to constructing a market so the print dealers can make even more money than
they already have.

OK, ok, can you guys hold off for a moment, please? I'm having some trouble
with my asbestos suit here. My gonads seem to have got caught in the zipper.

later

Alistair
