George Themelis expresses amazement:

But George, how do you *know* they kept ALL their slides?  I mean, it
isn't like people put a marker in to represent one they DIDN'T keep.
Are there any blank/black slides in the bunch?  If there isn't a single
one out of 2000, I'd wager that they did not keep them ALL!

As for the rest, they probably just had lower standards than you do!

	Just a thought,
