Well, they will be a rough series, since they were written on the fly;  
but still of use, I expect. Hopefully none of it will come back to  
haunt me. ;-)

Bruce Fraser used to save the posts that I, and the other color geeks,  
made on the ColorSync list; and they would often come back to haunt  
us. He would ponder, digest, clean up, and publish our unpolished gems  
in his magazine articles. Which always caused a rather complex  
emotional response. First, we were always shocked to recognize our  
thoughts, concepts, and opinions dressed up in much nicer clothes, and  
fit to be seen in public. Then we were flattered to have been  
included. Then we were a bit miffed to find that there was never any  
credit given, or sourcing noted. But he did make the material more  
comprehensible, and available to a much wider audience, so we would  
end up accepting the fact. However, when all the eulogies were talking  
about Bruce's unique vision, the quote about 'seeing so far by  
standing on the shoulders of others' did come to mind...
