Frank,

My objection is to this entire line of thinking.

What is so hard to understand here, guys? The word "edition" 
itself implies a finite number of copies. You can't go saying it's 
an edition of 25, and then come up with some cute method of 
lying about it later, when you move into 26 through 50. It's simply 
unethical.

If I'm missing something here, please point it out. (All I see here 
is some underhanded method of trying to keep making money 
from the same image, long after you said you'd stop printing it). If 
this practice fell under the umbrella of the SEC, there would be 
calls for a congressional investigation of corruption.

If somebody with the stature of Ansel Adams participated in this 
practice, I hereby deduct five karma points from his bank 
account. Seriously.
