    Drew, your joustings with this Bob and with the other Bob are always memorable

    hmmm, sometimes it takes a while, but it always happens that, at least in my case, I learn something really interesting !!

    Yeah, I admit I start some food fights, but I bet if we all had the opportunity to sit down over a cup of coffee somewhere and compare prints, we'd come away with a lot more respect for one another, although not just any kind coffee might work...

    yes... but to take advantage of those glasses we need big papers and a really skilled printer.

    I tried to understand the complexity of making optical mural prints, by printing crops of the mural, and I found that people doing that professionally had to be masters if the print had any complexity.

    Beyond the usual complexity of making good optical prints, a printer requires a hard learning before he deserves on of those glasses ! Purchasing the glass it's the easy chapter

    You are right. I've been rude so I apologize.

    Which enlarging lenses should I keep?

    A very intelligent, insightful person — the type of person who, if she had suddenly died, would have removed most of the knowledge in her field from the world — told me long ago that once you consider yourself an expert, then you have stopped learning and no longer contribute to the advancement of humanity. She knew enough to realize how little we know.

    Don’t stop learning, fellas. That includes from other’s perspectives.
