Not looking for a debate at all, nor do I wish to participate in one.
People can form their own opinions...all I did was suggest they take that
web site with a grain of salt...

And, though I participated in the discussion (8 bit vs 16 bit tonal moves
with color image files), I certainly didn't have much to do with "people
getting fed up and the list owner thinking of shutting it down".  I hadn't
posted to it for days (as I was on the road), when the bulk of the
"discussion" transpired.  Needless to say, the discussion was mostly
technical, and had little "personal" content, which is how this should be in
this type of newsgroup...and a LOT of people actually learned a lot from
it...at least from the responses I saw on-list, and off.  There are certain
subjects that, for some reason, some people are adversely effected by, as it
rocks their (sometimes mis-) understanding of how things work.  Apparently,
that discussion was one of them, and UV filters can be on other lists.  Do
keep in mind, no one was able to rise up to the challenge that I posed,
which should say a lot about the reality of what was being debated ;-)

Regards,

Austin
