Thanks Paul!  Actually this series carries the very modest title:

"A tutorial on the "Mechanics" of Stereo Photography"

And here is how the introduction goes at this point:

   "This the first installment on a series of articles on Stereo 
Photography.  The emphasis is on the mechanics of recording stereo 
pictures.
   There are two aspects of photography:  Art and Mechanics.  Good 
mechanics allow the photographer to record a sharp and well-exposed 
photograph.  But it can be a very boring photograph!  "Art" 
(composition, message, etc.) is how to make the photographs 
interesting, not just for the maker but for others as well.
   There are a few good references on the "art" aspect of (stereo) 
photography and certainly a need for education, but this series of 
articles will focus exclusively on the mechanics of stereo 
photography.  The technical challenges and controls on a camera that, 
if understood and used correctly, will yield technically acceptable 
stereo pictures."

No controversy.  Just a modest tutorial.
