Hey, B.D. RELAX!

Conflict of interest? What is this, Enron? I think your years of
investigative reporting have gotten the best of you. Not everyone has
ulterior motives, you know. Nigel is just a guy who LOVES the R8! He also
loves shooting. His post was nothing more than an observation. You will call
me naive but I KNOW HIM.

You post pictures of people for us to see. You also sell pictures of people.
Should we therefore assume your pictures are advertisements for your "Day In
The Life" documentary photography business? Of course not. You are simply
contributing to the forum. As was Nigel.

Give the guy a break. If you want to investigate someone's motives, go after
Ken Lay.
