Granted. Everyone has limits, but I think setting them generically is implausible. Mercifully we have the rule of law in the civilised world because obviously we do not want anarchy. It's a tricky area. I'm a hardass newsguy but I tell you what - if I found a tenner lying in the road, I'd take it to the police station. And in fact I have. I have no bones about filming/photographing a corpse, but trudging along a beach with bits of motorcycle I find abhorrent ! <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6291191.stm> <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6290887.stm> -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
