Digital BW, The Print

Anthony,

Your post below is not only off topic but has to be insulting to the group
members as well. I am sure that there are Internet groups devoted to
psychology out there and they would be a more appropriate place for you
remarks.

Both as a chemical engineer and a fine artist, I find your ideas to be
untrue and offensive.
