Hmm... I was not asking permission in the context of asking permission
but merely as vehicle of politeness.

Politeness? You were sneering at the man's photos. Where's the politeness in
that?

Perhaps, before posting a criticism to a public group for scrutiny, the

He really should be his own harshest critic...

In what context was I "sneering". I think you need to read my post
again then re read it and tell me where I was impolite, because I
certainly was not "sneering.
