If my opinion mattered, he'd be driving a Segway. But it doesn't. Neither does yours. Or Barry's. Rich, I have no idea when Dominion Day is, so I'll simply wish you a happy 4th of July, and you can do the necessary date translation! ;^) BTW, I mean no offense to the Brits in this group. Indeed, a case can be made that our armed secession was unnecessary, since you'd have gotten tired enough of us eventually. All I can say is that it did work out pretty well for us (at least until those Bushes came along). bob

Bzzt, wrong. The majority of photographers now use cell phone cameras. More cost-effective, portable, adaptable, and definitely more publically accepted. As you like to point out, sales figures don't lie. - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org Melbourne, FL ^^ (mail/jabber/gtalk) ^^ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.

I suggest you link to and point out the images in question. If that is too much work, just describe them and I will be happy to put them back up if they were switched out for new images. After all, I am trying to be helpful in your pursuit of justice. Perhaps it's not your own legal endeavors you are referring to but someone else's? In that case you will need to inform the NG of who that is so that they can follow up and see the truth of your allegations. I'm up for that. Barty, you have me so terrified that I almost bought a night light so that you didn't pop out of the closet or crawl out from under my bed and get me the way the biggest and baddest monsters always do. However, I sleep better in the dark and since I haven't lost any sleep over you yet, I couldn't think of a reason to start now. Vance |
