You hit the nail on the head !!  However, I really think that we need to
find a way to get these discussions going in a way that won't insult
anybody.  I sense that Dave will be reluctant to keep this site going
forever just so that we can have a bunch of nice pictures to look at
through our browser.

And both are needed.  If we all just say that every picture is nice, it
is a truly pointless discussion !
