Judy,

Is a "ludite" a person who is by nature lewd?  Or did you mean "luddite"?
Thanks Mark... Of course arguing phonetics of the English language is as useless as arguing, say, digital vs. analog "art."

But -- you're right, I failed to heed the little voice telling me to check sp. for Luddite. The movement seems named for Ned Lud "who destroyed machinery ca. 1779," but the variants of vowel pronunciation (for u, for instance) depend on the # of syllables -- except when they don't. (Should the need arise, I'd probably spell lug or luck correctly, tho lumber, lumbar and lukewarm could be perplexing.)

cheers,

Judy

David, This strikes me as "damned if you do and damned if you don't.
"Alt" photographers are often accused of being ludites...
