Not waffling at all!  Why should I spend my time proving something to
someone who can easily, with a little work on their own, do the experiment
for them selves?

No, not at all.  I know you understand this, and as far as I know, you don't
have any problems with posterization.  Others read this discussion, and they
may not fully understand what you understand.

I have seen your prints, and I would say you are good, in fact, quite good.

But isn't it better for you (or others) to do it on your own, and see for
your self?

You can lead a horse to water... ;-)
