Shel I've always enjoyed your contributions on this list. I for one will be sorry to see you go. I truly hope after your vacation you reconsider and return. I can tell you that you had a great deal to do with inspiring me to do more black and white. You helped me see the potential that exists in that format. I skip and trash a lot of messages in this list, but have almost always read the ones from you with interest.
You will never have everyone in a list this big agreeing with everything you say and do. It is unfortunate that some feel the need to express their critiques in a manner that tends to be hurtful. In a court of law a persons past is usually not allowed to be evidence presented in regard to the offense in question. The offense is judged on it's merits only. I would offer the idea that critiques of images be just that, judged on that images merits only. I would also further suggest that critiques be offered only when they are requested. Sometimes people just want to do show and tell, not be judged. Hope you have a happy safe vacation and return with the pictures to prove it!
