Well if you want to get that effect, then that is a COMPLETELY different
story. Introducing a distortion fault, for exactly what it is, can be
justified under the guise of artistic license! But the thrust of the
argument, was that most people are close minded to new ways of doing 
things. I don't think this is the case and MOST people if can be shown
a logical reason for doing something differently, would do so. So far
NO valid reason to WANT to introduce keystoning, has been given other
than as artistic license.

Do not confuse hypers, hypos, or other distortions of reality with
keystoning. I think I elaborated enough on this and if anyone else is
not sure of why this should not be done, please read the faq as John R.
suggested. If you or Paul or someone else can show that keystoning is
a valid technic, I and every body on this list would be open to this
idea (albeit with some kicking and dragging ;-) )

Gabriel, who lost the KEY, so used a STONE instead.
