To require a verbal statement of intent would be to beg the question. Also, at least half of the editors sequenced their pictures deliberately. Editing is a more nebulous enterprise than you want it to be. Rather than continuing this dispute I strongly suggest you attempt your own edit and try to communicate a particular intent WITHOUT telling us what it is. - -- John Brownlow - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
