I never alluded to, nor directly said that, Jane Brown was the
couch-potato
photographer without any real-life experience. (Read what I said again.)
Any
real photographer would have immediately noticed the error (or
misquoting?) of
her statement and would have never used it as a reference for anything. My
comments refer to you and -hh alone. And rightly so, since neither of you
noticed it. :-)

Your over-reactive defensiveness speaks tomes about you. (i.e. Methinks
thou
dost protest too much.)

*poof*, there just went any credibility of anything you or -hh have ever
said
online

That was fun.
