B.D. & Ted!

	Let me add to the debate by noting that in addition to being left
cold by Ansel Adams' technically wonderful prints, I also find most of the
work in "National Geographic" to be exceptionally pretty but not profound,
which judgement I make as a photographer and degree holding geographer.

BD,

Thanks. You've opened the door for me to come out of the closet, so's to
speak.  Finally someone who feels like I have for many many years! :) :)

Jeeeeeeesh BD old buddy, we better get head down in the bunker, like right

one now! :)
