This is so amusing!  In the several years I've been on the LUG, this exact topic
repeats itself once or twice a year.  Inevitably, the thread follows the same
pattern.  As soon as Bob Shell's name comes up, first there are references to
the barroom chicks he photographs, then the general quality of articles in
Shutterbug, somebody will refer to him as
Bob(never-met-a-camera-I-didn't-like)Shell, and finally someone will sniff about
we shouldn't be poking fun because he isn't here to defend himself and then the
topic fades away for another year.
LOL!
