Tom, I'll echo what Shel said: your comments were well thought out and useful to Boris and the whole list.
As one of the "nice shot" folks, I wasn't saying that you or Shel were wrong, or that Boris shouldn't heed your adivce. And, althought I'm sure you weren't directing your comments to me, I did do a bit more than just say "nice shot", I think I illustrated ~why~ I liked it. And, I was commenting on it in the context of what I thought it was.
I would say, keep commenting, if you feel so inclined, when someone asks it of the list. I for one always enjoy reading all of the responses. And, you and Shel's opinions rank right up there with those that I find most interesting and informative. Whether I agree or not is a whole different issue.
cheers, frank

Boris DID ask for suggestions ... iac, your comments were well thought out and quite germane to the general subject of this list. And if
Boris or someone else thought they were out of line, or that you are full of crap, the heck with them.
Frankly, I get the sense that "very nice" is a good critique here, but worthless as teats on a boar hog in the long run. I appreciate your
efforts, even when I don't agree with you.
