I suppose you even want me to track down William Henry Fox Talbot, to 
see if I can use that line from "The Pencil of Nature," 1844?
I don't.
I use common sense, and the world would be a far nicer place if more 
people would do that.
I am not depriving others of this info because of these endless what-if 
situations. 
And I am not loosing sleep over this....living in Holland isn't 
completely unrelated to that I guess.
