Didier and all concerned:

My apologies: I have re-read Dave's post and the post itself was,
indeed, politicized. My comments about the photos still stand, and I
must stress that I have no problem with what he wrote, and understand
and share the frustration that lead him to write it, but I should not
have responded to you as I did.

Dave
The pictures have too much point'n'shoot appeal for me. Just join the 
crowd, click, and that's it. You wrote the ratio of demonstrants vs. 
policemen was 200 vs. 2000 - why did you not document this
photographically 
interesting contrast?

My impression was that you did not only want to show your pictures, but 
that you were looking for an opportunity to kick your personal concept
of 
the enemy in the ass. The LUG's indeed the wrong place for that. That's
why 
I agree with Mark, that your post was rather backhanded.
Didier
