I don't know about the rest of you out there in alt-photo-land, but I'm fed
up with all this "you did..." "no, you did..." crap. Pretty soon, only the
two antagonists will be on this list. As for me, I'm setting my email to
automatically discard all msgs from either party. That is a sad state of
affairs, since I think the New Yorker has a great sense of humor, and will
miss those postings.
