You just said it: very poor taste! But then poor taste has never been a hindrance to marketers: I sell, therefor I am! BTW I hear that HCB is mostly sketching now, some clever art-dealer might obtain his old Leicas and paintings and get ready for a "profitable" retrospective. All this wouldn't touch a real gentle man,like HCB. May he enjoy his golden years in good health. Now I'll go back to lurking. -otto- PS. just read Ted's answer on the LUG and tend to agree with some of his sentiments. I envy his sense of humour, but won't retract my statement on bad taste. otto w. rath, 504-633, northcliffe blvd. toronto on. M6E 3M3 canada (416) 783 5128
