I take Ken Rockwell's opinions with at least as big a grain
of salt as I did Philip Greenspun's [photo.net creator],
probably much bigger.  Besides I get along with Phil's sense 
of humor better.  :-)  At least Phil managed to build a site 
with great readers'comments, counter-balancing his own views,
which comments and posts in the end became the real strength 
of photo.net.

Of course, this is not to say that K.R.'s site is devoid of
truth;  in fact I remember getting some good information
there.  Just that the B.S. factor bleeps on my radar, together
with the bit of self-promotion.

The irony to me is that Bill referred to K.R.'s site in
response to one of Henning Wulf's posts.  Henning is always
very thoughtful with so many great advices born out of years 
of experience, given without any fanfare.  In fact he is so
low-keyed, that I am afraid his experience, talent and wisdom 
is not recognized here.  Henning ranks way up there on my list
of the LUG's greats, and a gentleman too.  Just my opinion.

I don't mean this post as any offense to you at all, Bill,
and if you feel any slight, let me apologize for it beforehand.

Cheers,

- Phong

"and a gentleman too",  by which I mean as a poster on an 
internet public mailing list.  I actually don't know Henning 
at all.
