P3D Me and Mr. Smith

A few clarifications:

- Mr. Smith is not me, is a real person but is not Ken Smith of Preston
that Alan is asking about.

- The quote about the Realist lenses displaying the optical qualities of
the bottom of a Co-op milk bottle, does not come from Mr. Smith but from a
Bulletin of the SS of UK (I believe), "A Christmas Fable" written by
someone else.  This is supposed to be a parody about an inventor inventing
a stereo camera called "Realistic" (any similarity with a real camera is, I
am sure, purely coincidental.)

- From my first communication with Mr. Smith, he appears to be a very
interesting individual, working in diverse areas of stereo, like rear
projection split frame stereo, etc.  He is also working on a book on
stereo.  His approach to stereo appears to be original and non-conventional.
