Boy, there sure are a bunch of pinheads out there. Harumph. They're making a ton of assumptions about the content and blaming you for their lascivious or degenerate minds?! Geez. Of course, I've encountered the same thing, but it still hacks me off. I tend to give two word rejoinders to those folks. > ... some people have seen a lot more in the photo than > I ever did or ever intended to be conveyed. That's one of the things that kills me about reviewers of art in all its forms. I don't know if it's on the Internet, but there was an interview a few years ago with Kurt Vonnegut or Frank Herbert or some well-known writer like that. Asked about reviewers, the response was along the lines of "those folks have much more vivid imaginations than I do". Sometimes a line is just a line. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
