Very unfortunately._______>>>>>> It's the " We can be as offended as all get out, but that's reality!" that I didn't make clear as I didn't mean I was offended that's what I meant about "reality". Let me try again as to waht I meant "___any person can be offended all they want but the sale and use of any great photographer's work has no more value than the revenue it can produce for the owners, whomever that may be. And the fact it is sold for whatever purpose is in fact a "reality" of the ecomonmic life of today.____ And you're quite correct, <<<but certainly no offense was ever intended, and none need be taken. Life's too short! >>>>>>>>> Now I've probably confused it even more. Damn, this means I have to go back for remedial writing 101! :) ted
