Thanks Uncle T!

I see a nude photo ? it may be erotic, tasteless, dull, or high art ? a 
matter of personal taste ENTIRELY!

I usually find it difficult to read the intentions of other photograghers ? 
I try not to assign them from limited knowledge.

I find a photo that insults my eye or sensibilities ? I move on to something 
else.

I find ?Is this better in color or black & white? discussions, stupid ? I do 
not participate.

I find certain members a waste of time or offensive ? I block their emails.

I find pornography less offensive that LOTS of things I see daily in the 
news.

I see a photo I do not think is good or comment worthy ? I don?t comment. 
(Often, I don?t comment just because I don?t have time.)

It?s Brian?s Saloon ? what goes and what does not is NOT my call, it?s 
Brian?s.

Brian runs the best Saloon ? don?t trifle with the Saloon.
