Ted, I hope I wasn't rude commenting. There was once a great art teacher,
whose name escapes me who would look at students' work and say "continuez"
or something similar. I always think of your signature block on a post as a
similar thing.
Let me tell you that I read every one of your posts with great care as there
is so much to learn from.
And also knowing that you have looked at a posted image and perhaps comment
sometimes is a very genuine privilege for a photographer seeking to improve.

Regards
Hoppy

When in reality it has been occurring due to an unfortunate "hand - tremor" 
I seem to have developed this past few months.:-( I am trying to get a 
control on it when trying to respond. Unfortunately as I click "reply" 
sometimes there's an uncontrolled double tremor that sends the un-written 
reply.

Obviously it doesn't seem I'm able to control it as there have been posts 
accidentally sent before I realized it's happened. So I apologize to the 
crew when you see this occur.

I suppose I should have said something earlier, but obviously they have 
become more noticeable and now drawing attention. I am trying to correct 
this by maybe a pencil or pen and tapping the "reply" when I want to 
respond.

So now you know something that was not previously made aware. Apologies 
offered for adding to wasted band width and down loading times for nothing.
