Kyle,

I love you like a son. And your photography (and other work) is beyond 
reproach. Plus, your wit, sarcasm, and insight is phenomenal.

BUT

Your lazy way of writing in Internet communications is at the opposite end 
of that scale. Grating. Like finger nails running on a blackboard.

Sometimes it is difficult to extract the wheat from the chaff.

Jim
