I am not sure I understand which part you find
offensive and insulting... and why...

Hey, I collect everything stereo.  For me every stereo
picture is a potential collectible. (Even yours or
that guy's pictures!)  I am sure the same applies for 
many other stereo photographers.  Why does that bother 
you?

> What the hell is "the 'linear' technique"?  

Why don't you ask him to tell you?  Why don't you read
what he has to say first and then decide if it is 
bogus?

I think you are overreacting.

If the Argus will help bring some more people into
3d, I have no problem with that.  Obviously, you and I 
are not in his targetted audience.

Look, I know the guy (via email) and have seen many
of his pictures (one was in Stereo World, check the
"Assignment 3-D" in 25.4 issue, Sep/Oct 1998).  He is
also a member of APECIII.  I think he is uncoventional 
and he has something interesting to say... Some people 
might think it is garbage... I reserve judgement.

Explain what "lite" is all about.  Does this techique
make you a better photographer??? That's not how I do 
it. :-)
