I agree entirely. Which is exactly why your original posting set me off so much.
Your opening paragraph was so filled with arrogance and abuse that I never got
past it. Why that haughty opening attack on the "almighty" Realist? How long
have you been reading Photo-3D, anyway? Very few, if any, people on this list
consider the Realist to be "almighty." Many people like it, many people don't.
Some people have intellectual reasons, some people have emotional ones. But the
inference of your opening paragraph is that most people on this list are
close-minded, ignorant bigots who worship at the feet of an antique technology
for no other reason than that it is old. That characterization is an untrue as
it is insulting. But right out of the box I see you saying, "I am so much more
knowledgable and enlightened than all you people, and I am going to bring the
TRUTH down from the mountains and bring you deliverance from your own darkness."
If that isn't what you meant, I apologize, but it is most certainly what you
wrote!

And I don't even use a Realist!
