Re: your mail -

This thread HAS been useful, but only because others have stepped forward to correct the misconceptions Jeffrey has stubbornly presented.    "Discouragement" is just what he needs! Not only does he continually propogate erroneous information, he does it in a pompous and arrogant fashion. 

Sarah, you stated that you are "unready to contribute".  Well, fine.  But don't let your lack of knowledge contribute to your vulnerability.  There may be SOME issues that Jeff can speak about with authority, but digital capture and reproduction are certainly not among them!
