Thanks, Duane, for adding this highly logical contribution. The issue
*isn't* what duplicates any existing technique...the issue is whether the
new technique has similar subjective appeal and functioning.

Believe me, people tried to convince me for *years* that digital is as good
as film by counting pixels. What they failed to realize is, I don't care. I
only care if it looks good. Once it did, I said it did. Before it did, no
technical argument was going to convince me that it did, or to say so.

Of course, *now* no one cares what I think. Ahhhh. Lucky me. <g>
