Hi Sam,

Correction to your correction: the wording was correct. Writer, per contract
and agreement, *could use the photos already paid for. Writer selected
"didn't."

As far as anything else, don't know how many times I can apologize. for
posting. Apologize for sharing my enthusiasms.  Apologize for thinking that
there are various levels of value; and various levels of participation (i.e.
top, top-dollar professional commanding gazillions for everyhing,
middle-range, talented and enthusiastic but just-starting-out newbies).
Apologize for not understanding that although in my professional community
there are often trade-offs, that none of us should ever, ever, ever, have
done anything for less than New York top dollar.

Therefore, that dead horse is no longer available for beating.

I suppose I should also apologize for posting, too, so consider it done.


About this list: this is the second time I've been here; first came here
before a move (different name). Didn't say a word the first time. Didn't say
a word for a long time the second time.

I think this list has tremendous value. There's the science. There's the
discussion of that science. There's thee posting of photos and the
discussions of lessons learned in getting them.

However, there's also the fact that although there's more than 700 people
subscribed, there are very few people who post or participate. I've seen
some names come through, then some down-putting comment (if they're lucky,
usually they're ignored) and then pffft--don't hear them speaking again.

I wonder why?

As for me, I'm heading back to lurk mode.

Best wises to all of you for SAFE, productive chases,

P.Phillips
