Ron, I have not insulted anybody.

All I am asking is that people think more closely about the purpose and effect
of their activities and whether there is a basic logic in their arguments.

If you find that offensive, ' tant pis'.

I have explained my purposes but you have not noticed.

I do not need 'sources' to make an analysis. That analysed is the source.

I must say in all truthfulness that I am appalled that the alt-photo
list is reduced to your kind of commentary. Eric Fienbalatt's
initial message displays significant thoughtfulness. It is a
contribution to this list.

Nasty, and sometimes insulting remarks can have the effect of silencing
particular kinds of interest. WE WILL KNOW OURSELVES [THIS LIST] MORE BY
WHAT IS NOT [CANNOT] BE SAID, THAN BY WHAT IS SAID.

And I ask not only you Terry, but others: why should any of us theorize
about alternative processes on this list if we must then encounter such
insults?
