Viewers don't have to be "awkward", but I will agree that a stereogram
that can be free-viewed is an advantage.

I have never seen a lenticular print that I felt was the equal of or better
than a stereo pair of transparencies.

I question this.  Buying Realist mounts in quantity they cost about 7 cents
each.  What is the cost of having a lenticular print made?

>4- It's just as easy.

Where does one buy the equipment to make lenticular prints?  Is it
practical (read: affordable) for the "serious hobbyist"?

>My work speaks for itself!

Who are you, and where would we find your work in order to judge for
ourselves?  (Please don't read anything into that, it is a simple, honest
question, as your mail is only signed "spacecap".)
