I did too, Joel -- enjoy the demonstration. Moose's manipulations
(more alliteration, anyone ? :-)) makes me think more about images, as
do Chuck's and Ken's musings or opinions. Added to that, Moose goes to
the trouble of making suggestions with images in a practical manner.
But Moose let us know his own thoughts thus prompting me to voice my
own opinion. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it probably has a lot
to do with the light that we see every day.
