This always mystifies me. I'm probably the toughest, certainly the most 
persistent (as now), critic you have on the list.

But I don't recall questioning your judgment of the subtleties of lens 
characteristics, camera color rendering or the 
characteristics of B&W papers, etc.

Does it feel really good, safe somehow, to believe you have persistent critics 
here of your opinions and descriptions of 
these qualities.

I'll call you on BS pretty much every time (as now), and on technical errors; 
after all, it's my responsibility to 
straighten you out. :-)   But I steer clear of technical issues where you are 
expert. As to artistic judgment, I try to 
be clear that our differences are of taste.

Artistically, I'd say you are a far tougher critic on yourself than most here.

That's great!
